Keith: I'm basically a newbie trying to make a program that allows you to drag a big (larger than 160x160) bitmap around. Initially I used a form bitmap and tried to move it and it didn't work. (I got a handle to the form obj and tried to set the obj to a new location.) So I decided to go the "draw the bitmap" way. It's working and now I'm fine tuning the interactiong. I'm just using : resH = DmGetResource (bitmapRsc, myBitmap); bitmap = MemHandleLock (resH); WinDrawBitmap(bitmap, current_x, current_y); MemHandleUnlock (resH); to draw the bitmap. I want to use the width and the height of the bitmap to calculate my current_x and _y. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Can you tell us more about how you're handling this bitmap?
