    Question bitmap in windows

    Hai can any body help drawing a bitmap in windows using windows sdk. I don't want the implementation using HBITMAP
    Creating memory DC.

    I am using hardcore technique which includes usage of
    the bitmap structure which is as follows


    BITMAPFILEHEADER
    BITMAPINFOHEADER
    RGQUAD Table
    ACTUAL BITMAP DATA

    I could display the bitmap but I could not get colors. I am getting only red & black.Unable to use colors of the bitmap

    I need some body to help me

    thanks in advance

    There's an example on MSDN somewhere (sorry havent got link as my bookmarks arent here - testing my new linux installation ).....have a search!

    Also, be aware that if your bitmap is storing colours with RGB, they are stored BGR (1st and 3rd colour swapped)....so you need to swap them....
