loading and writing BMP's
Author
Hello,
Just an easy question:
How do I have to read, and write, info from, and to, a .bmp-file?
Should I make use of the BITMAPINFOHEADER-struct? Or is there a beter way?
I want to make screenshots and so on. BTW: I use VC++6.0
I hope one of you can help me...

Yep your on the right track, use a BITMAPINFOHEADER and BITMAPFILEHEADER structures and you''ll also need an area of allocated memory to store the actual image in.
If your dealing with bmp''s with palettes you''ll need an array of PALETTEENTRY''s to stroe that info in as well.
Check the MSDN, it''s got a fair bit of info on the subject.
