It might sound stupid but i dont know...

BYTE *GetLine (int line ,BYTE surface,int stride)
{return (surface + stride * line);}
this little function is bugging me alot... the erro i get is this
''return'' : cannot convert from ''int'' to ''unsigned char *''
But fromt the normal tutorial it work fine.. man.. can someoen give me a tip.. sorry for the dummy question

The function should probably read:
BYTE* Getline(int line, BYTE* surface, int stride)
{ return (surface + stride*line); }
If you can''t see this then you probably need
to read up on C. (and C++ if you want).
BYTE* Getline(int line, BYTE* surface, int stride)
{ return (surface + stride*line); }
If you can''t see this then you probably need
to read up on C. (and C++ if you want).
Hmmm, looks just like a piece of code I've been working on for my image class. 
First off, your data types should be unsigned BYTE* (or unsigned char*). Also changing your function to this:
should make it work.

Thats right - you will get that error because surface, I presume, should be a pointer:
BYTE *GetLine ( int Line, BYTE *pSurface, int Stride )
{
return ( pSurface + ( Stride * Line ) );
}
I believe that you should use "BYTE *surface" instead of "BYTE surface" in the function header.
Hope that works.

Its all to do with "type casting" in C/C++, you can cast anything as anything but only if you tell it. What you need to is explicitly cast the result you are returning as a BYTE*, like this:
Then all should be happy

BYTE *GetLine (int line ,BYTE surface,int stride){return (BYTE*)(surface + stride * line);} Then all should be happy

lol what a conincidence... this fucntion if to read a line pts toa bitmap.. well this i feed the function with the right parameters.. first of if i just compile without using the function the error shows..

Consider this:
What you''re doing is this:
Furthermore, you don''t have BYTE *a, but BYTE* is a return type which is a pointer, not the same as (surface + stride * line), which is an integer. The compiler''s smart enough to check what you''re returning against what you''ve meant to return in a function. Remember, usually BYTE == char, so BYTE* == char*!
Simply change that return type to what you''re returning, or vice versa:
Hope this helps,

OMGGGGGGGGGG thx for all the replies... how i did not see that ? LOLSSSSSSS i''ve been programming for 10 hours straight O_o i think i need to sleep

Crispy,
What he is returning is a pointer to an unsigned char[] in memory, not an offset to plug between the brackets. The way that numerous posters suggested is not incorrect. The surface + stride * line simply tells the application to move the current byte pointer (stride * line) bytes ahead of the current pointer (thus setting it at the next line). You then use the returned pointer as the offset in memory to begin reading from or writing to.
