RE: Just cant get a bitmap to show up .. GCC Win32

[Ernst Steenbrink]

Dear Pete,

BM2 is not a BitmapPtr but an resouce-ID. 
You should us bitmapPtr. The easiest way to do it is shown in the
following function.


static void DrawBitmap(Int x, Int y, Int id)
{
        VoidHand h;
        BitmapPtr p;

        h = DmGet1Resource('Tbmp', id);
        if (h != NULL)
                {
                p = (BitmapPtr) MemHandleLock(h);
                WinDrawBitmap(p, x, y);
                MemHandleUnlock(h);
                }
        DmReleaseResource(h);
}

Best Regards,
