1. Win32Lib - Bitmap's Size
Hi all,
I just wanted to know how I get the size from a bitmap file
without drawing it. Or maybe a procedure to move a bitmap?
Thanks,
Red Knight

No problem: you can use 'loadBitmapFromFile' to get the handle then
use 'getSize' or 'getExtent' to get the dimensions (I assume that's what
you mean by "size").
Example:
atom bmp
sequence bmp_size, bmp_extent
bmp = loadBitmapFromFile( "mybitmap.bmp" )
bmp_size = getSize( bmp ) -- returns {0,0,width,height}
bmp_extent = get_extent( bmp ) -- returns {width,height}

You could use a bitmap control, put your bitmap into it, then move the
control. Or you could 'copyBlt' your bitmap wherever you'd like...

Hi,
you can use getExtent() to find the size of the bitmap, and moveWindow() to
move it.
---------------------
constant Repaint = 1
atom hBitmap
integer BitmapID
sequence Dimensions
hBitmap = loadBitmapFromFile("whatever.bmp")
Dimensions = getExtent(hBitmap)
BitMapID = create(Bitmap, "" , aWindow, x, y, Dimensions[1],
Dimensions[2], 0)
. . .
moveWindow(BitMapID, newx, newy, Dimensions[1], Dimensions[2], Repaint)
---------------------
