Not if it's in a function that can create all different kinds of BITMAPs.
Is that function public (from a library somewhere) or is it in your own library? I'm starting to go nuts over all these different bitmap formats. Every time when I finish some code where I need to use them I think I 'get' it, only to find out that two weeks later I have to stare at MSDN and my Petzold again for hours before I figure out whether I should use DIB's or DDB's and how I should load the data from the format that I need and manipulate the image data...
