Thread: Getting back the Red, Green, and Blue

If I use the code:
#define RGB32BIT(a, r, g, b) ((b) + (g << 8) + (r << 16) + (a << 24)

buffer[y * lpitch32 + x] = RGB32BIT(0, 0, 255, 0);

How do I get back the alpha, red, green, and blue values? Something like?

UCHAR b = buffer[y * lpitch32 + x];
UCHAR g = buffer[y * lpitch32 + x] >> 8;
UCHAR r = buffer[y * lpitch32 + x] >> 16;
UCHAR a = buffer[y * lpitch32 + x] >> 24;

BYTE Red=(PixelColor & 0xFF0000) >> 16;
BYTE Green=(PixelColor & 0xFF00) >>8;
BYTE Blue=(PixelColor & 0xFF);

Turns out I was right after all. But the reply above mine works too even though the '& 0xFF' is pointless if you shift it anyway.
