Bits to DirectX surface

madfisher · 2002-08-30T09:03:23

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to write a pointer of BYTES obtained: LPBYTE lpDIB = (LPBYTE) GlobalLock( hBitmap ); directly to a directx surface. The hBitmap is defined as a HBITMAP, but it is however a DIB. If not what is the best way for me to write the DIB to a directx surface? Thanks Marcus de Leon

The best way is to convert the bitmap once - copy & convert it to an offscreen plane with the same PixelFormat as the backbuffer, and do all blitting from there to the backbuffer. Won''t get much faster than that
