    bitmap

    Can someone please help?I'm trying to print a bitmap to the screen.
    This is where I'm upto:
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    void CSketcherView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC)
    {
    CSketcherDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();
    ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);

    CBitmap MyBit;
    MyBit.LoadBitmap(IDB_BITMAP2);
    MyBit.CreateBitmap(100,40,);

    CBitmap* pOldBitmap = pDC->SelectObject(&MyBit);

    pDC->BitBlt(0,0,100,100,pDC,0,0,SRCCOPY);
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I'm not sure of the last three parameters in CreateBitmap.
    Also BitBlt could be wrong.
    I have looked through the forum but still can't work it out.

    Here is one solution.

    Code:
    CBitmap MyBit;
    MyBit.LoadBitmap(IDB_BITMAP2);
    MyBit.CreateBitmap(100,40,);
    
    CDC memoryDC;
    memoryDC.CreateCompatibleDC(pDC);
    CBitMap *pOldBitmap = memoryDC.SelectObject(&MyBit);
    memoryDC.SetMapMode(pDC->GetMapMode());
    memoryDC.BitBlt(0, 0, 100, 100, &memoryDC, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);
    memoryDC.SetObject(pOldBitMap);
    The solution is you should create a memory device context, load the bitmap onto the virtual DC, and then blit it onto the screen.

    Thanks for helping me with my problem kuphryn.I still can't
    get it to compile.Here are the errors.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    cpp(63) : error C2660: 'CreateBitmap' : function does not take 2 parameters
    cpp(70) : error C2039: 'SetObject' : is not a member of 'CDC'
    microsoft visual studio\vc98\mfc\include\afxwin.h(636) : see declaration of 'CDC'


    I can see that the CreateBitmap function has more parameters.
    I looked up in msdn but I'm still not sure of the values to put there.

    Cool.

    I made some typos in the reply. One of which was "SetObject." I meant "SelectObject."
