Contrary to what its name implies, CreateDIBitmap creates a device
dependent bitmap, (optionally) using a buffer of data to initialize the
bitmap.

Another possibility is to use CreateDibSection. This gives you access to
the content of the bitmap as an array of bytes, so you can copy your
data into it.

Note the difference: CreateDIBitmap just creates a normal bitmap,
initializing it from your array of bytes. A DIB Section allows you to
manipulate the data either as a bitmap or an array of bytes on an
ongoing basis. If you really want that ongoing view both as bitmap and
array of bytes, definitely go for the DIB section. If you JUST want to
initialize the bitmap from your data, CreateDIBitmap should be enough.

The universe is a figment of its own imagination.

please help me out how to fill the BITMAPINFOHEADER & BITMAPINFO
structure or Provide any sample application on CreateDIBitmap willl be
great help.

I just used google (http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en) to
look up
createdibitmap sample
in this newsgroup and got 3130 hits. I took a quick look and didn't
see anything directly useful, but I'm pretty sure a bit of wading
would turn up leads to sample code.

I couldn't find any samples in the help that came with my copy of
Visual studio (I used Help->Search to look up createdibitmap), but
it's an easy search, and your copy may have something. I don't have
samples loaded with my copy of visual studio, but they are often
valuable.

Finally, I went to www.microsoft.com, searched for
createdibitmap sample
and got 141 hits. I took a quick look at the first one, and it looks
relevant and useful.
