Bitmaps and DIBs... Gaining Control of the Pixels...

[CubeE101]

Can Anyone give me a relatively short explanation / description of what I need to do to set up a DIB Device Context to write directly to a bitmap using something similar to an array...

I am trying to convert and update some of my older programs to VC++ for better graphics and speed... A majority of my programming is in the BASIC languages (mostly VB and QB)

I somewhat understand the theory of Device Independent Bitmaps but I am having trouble grasping the concept of how to use them...

I would like to be able to make a console app run full screen and be able to control all the pixels directly...

If there is a somewhat simple solution, please advise. Otherwise I will continue to dig into Direct X and try to utilize its functionality.

If anyone has any comments, sugestions, tutorials, or other GOOD links worth visiting, concerning this subject...

[tt]GetPixel[/tt] and [tt]SetPixel[/tt] functions will manipulate pixels directly in a device context.

there is a DIBImage example provide.The CDibImage class can directly manipulate the pixel as you like.
