I need some help setting up and modifying a 32-bit bitmap in Windows[solved]
Author
I have absolutely no experience with bitmaps under Windows. The last time I did anything with bitmaps, I was using 8-bit bitmaps on Mac OS 7. Things are just a tiny bit different.
I've looked through MSDN and have done plenty of Google searches, but most of what I am finding is strictly 8-bit code examples. I'm making a software rasterizer. Currently, I'm cheating and setting pixels via an orthographic projection and GL_POINTS. Obviously not optimal. Laughable, really.
How do I set up a 32-bit bitmap and set individual pixels? I found some code that sort of works, using CreateDIBSection, but for some reason the bitmap is always displayed in blue. I have a choice of black, white and shades of blue.
Here is the set up code I'm using:
To set pixels, I'm doing: ptPixels[offset] = (long)pixel_color; Where: offset = ((y * height) + x) * 4);
No matter the value of pixel_color, I get black, white or shades of blue.
What am I doing wrong? Does anyone have a link to a tutorial or some code I could see?

Here is a neat little class that you can use to "render" to a windows bitmap. It comes with a sample application that uses it to continually generate some image and display it to a window. The class also supports saving the image to file. If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask.

Thank you. I'll take a look at that, but I solved it on my own. I was writing this code at about 1 AM. Tired minds don't write very good code.
Anyway, this works:

Thank you again for that link! Your code will provide me with good reference material.
Anyway, this works:
buffer = &ptPixels[(y * 800) + x];...snip...offset = ((tv * 256) + tu) * 4; // Texture accesstr = (unsigned char)tex->imageData[offset];tg = (unsigned char)tex->imageData[offset + 1];tb = (unsigned char)tex->imageData[offset + 2];*buffer = (tr << 16) | (tg << 8) | tb;...snip...[edit]

Surprisingly, I find that.... disappointing >_<'
I wonder if it's just me or it's a global thing..
[EDIT]Ah, I feel much better now :D

Don't be! Your code will provide me with quite a bit of direction. I didn't want someone else to solve this for me, but I couldn't figure it out last night. As is typical with me, I'll make a post asking for help, and then while waiting for a reply, solve the problem myself. For some reason, merely asking the question gives me the answer.
