Sample Code - Create HBITMAP from Byte Array

[C++] Create HBITMAP from Byte Array

HBITMAP CreateHBITMAPfromByteArray(HDC hdc, int nImageWidth, int nImageHeight, BYTE* pImageData)
{
	BITMAPINFOHEADER   bmih;
	memset(&bmih, 0, sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER));

	bmih.biWidth = nImageWidth;
	bmih.biHeight = nImageHeight;
	bmih.biBitCount = 32;
	bmih.biCompression = BI_RGB;
	bmih.biSize = sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER);
	bmih.biPlanes = 1;

	BITMAPINFO* bmi = (BITMAPINFO*)&bmih;

	return CreateDIBitmap(hdc, &bmih, CBM_INIT, pImageData, bmi, DIB_RGB_COLORS);

}

// When you no longer need the bitmap, call the DeleteObject function to delete it.
