DIBSECTION  3OWZJJ 

The DIBSECTION structure contains information about a device-independent bitmap created by calling the CreateDIBSectionGSAO6S function. A DIBSECTION structure includes information about the bitmap s dimensions, color format, color masks, optional file mapping object, and optional bit values storage offset. An application can obtain a filled-in DIBSECTION structure for a given device-independent bitmap by calling the GetObject3V6UF0 function.

typedef struct tagDIBSECTION { 

    BITMAP              dsBm;

    BITMAPINFOHEADER    dsBmih;

    DWORD               dsBitfields[3];

    HANDLE              dshSection;

    DWORD               dsOffset;

} DIBSECTION;

Members

dsBm

A BITMAP.CPC19 data structure that contains information about the device-independent bitmap: its type, its dimensions, its color capacities, and a pointer to its bit values.

dsBmih

A BITMAPINFOHEADER05ZA4G data structure that contains information about the color format of the device-independent bitmap.

dsBitfields

Specifies three DWORD color masks for the device-independent bitmap. This field is only valid when the biBitCount member of the BITMAPINFOHEADER structure has a value greater than 8. Each color mask indicates the bits within a bit value doubleword that are used to encode one of the three color channels (red, green, and blue).

dshSection

Contains a handle to the file mapping object that the CreateDIBSectionGSAO6S function used to create the device-independent bitmap. If CreateDIBSection was called with a NULL value for its hSection parameter, causing the operating system to allocate memory for the bitmap, the dshSection member will be NULL.

dsOffset

Specifies the offset to the bitmap s bit values within the file mapping object referenced by dshSection. If dshSection is NULL, the dsOffset value has no meaning.
