HICON to HBITMAP

Is there a way to convert HICON to HBITMAP?


thank you.

Off the top of my head, use DrawIcon to draw it to a DC with a bitmap selected into it and there you go.

Yes. Use GetIconInfo or draw the icon to a bitmap using DrawIconEx. See threads.

wow, it's so short and simple... and not DCs. Thank you.

Code:

---

HBITMAP hBitmap;
HICON hIcon;
ICONINFO iconinfo;

hIcon = LoadIcon(GetModuleHandle(NULL), MAKEINTRESOURCE(ID_ICON));
GetIconInfo(hIcon, &iconinfo);
hBitmap = iconinfo.hbmColor;

This's what i'm finding. Thank so much if it work.

seem that it does not work!!??? I changed hbmColor with SetBitmapBits and there was no thing changed.

No, it's wrong.
You must pass throug a DIB Section or a comp. DC.
See MSDN (WSDK) or Google Groups for the usual methods (comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32
and others)
