Have any of you ever used the IFF Library to load a picture into a windows
BitMap? or created a custom bitmap, loaded into the custom bitmap then
point the window to it? I have been trying everything I can think of to
get an IFF picture into a windows bitmap without much luck. I think I have
seen just about every GURU there is!
Thanx for any help.
Harold:
I have been using the library by Christian Slater, not the other one by Mr.
Albrecht (sorry, Robert). I'll Email you a code segment that you can
peruse. Note that the segment I'm sending builds an offscreen bitmap, and
then ClipBlits from that onto the visible screen. This was so that you
could handle rasters larger than that which can be displayed. It would be
pretty trivial to make it decode right onto the current view, if you need
it to work that way.
