calling this function, seems to give me a bad bitmap.
I'll provide some additional insight: If I call WinDrawBitmap on the pBmp, I get a perfect image.
If I do the following: MemHandle resH = NULL; resH = DmGetResource( 'Tbmp', 501 ); BitmapPtr bitmap = (BitmapPtr)MemHandleLock(resH);
Then call WinDrawBitmap on the bitmap - I get garbage.
Also - is there no other way to load a resource rather than calling the above function that performs the unecessary process of searching resource databases for the bitmap rather than use one that I know is correct?
DmGetResource1 will only search the topmost database.
This should work, but its likely that you aren't saving the bitmap to your record/resource appropriately. Is the bitmap coming from PilRC or another resource compiler? If not, is it being saved from your app? When you save your bitmap to a resource, do you write your own bitmap header and then copy the bits? Did you follow the examples in the BitmapRsc code from the palmsource Knowledgebase? Have you tried exporting your resource DB from PalmSim or POSE and then viewing it with PRC Explorer?
