thanks Aaron, at first, i wanted just to reply to you saying that i know
that the method needs a pointer, because the compiler will give me an error,
and i already done it with a pointer using :
DWord depth = 0x08;
DWordPtr depthP = &depth;
BUT, i tried it, and it works, but the problem wasn't on the pointer, it was
on the 0x08.
when i wrote "4" it works.
now i have two problems :
1) probably with freeing the memory, but i'll look at it myself.
2) when i draw my bitmap, the rest of the screen went blank, and when i used
1 bit bitmap, its ok, any ideas ?
why the 0x08 didn't work ?
Thanks,
Shay
