LoadDIBFromFile

#include "BiDIB.h"

HANDLE CALLBACK LoadDIBFromFile(LPTSTR  lpszFileName)

Description

Load a Microsoft Device Independent Bitmap (DIB) from file. If it is V4 or V5 format and contains ICC embedded profile, during loading the pixel values are transformed into sRGB color space. Alpha Channel will be lost. Alpha Channel will be supported in a future release

Parameters

Additional Information

This example shows how to use the dll when loading statically including the header file. Otherwise if the dll is loaded dynamically, for further information read the “About the difference of static and dynamic library loading” section of the manual.

Return values

Return a HANDLE to the device independent bitmap if successful or NULL if fails.

Programming notes

This function only supports regular bottom-up DIBs. If this function fails to load a specific .bmp file, try loading it with LoadDIBFromFileExt.

Requirements

Header :     Declared in BiDIB.h; include BiDIB.h.

Library :    Use BiDIB.lib, lcms2.lib.

DLLs :       BiDIB.dll, lcms2.dll.

#include "BiDIB.h"

switch(nFormatID) {

                .
