#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTFIL_API L_INT L_ReadFileStamp(pszFile, pBitmap, uStructSize, pLoadOptions)

L_TCHAR* pszFile;	/* file name*/
pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	/* pointer to the target bitmap handle */
L_UINT uStructSize;	/* size in bytes, of the structure pointed to by pBitmap */
pLOADFILEOPTION pLoadOptions;	/* pointer to optional extended load options */

Reads a thumbnail image stored in a file and loads it into a specified bitmap.

Parameter	Description
pszFile	Character string containing the file name.
pBitmap	Pointer to the bitmap handle referencing the bitmap that will contain the thumbnail image.
uStructSize	Size in bytes, of the structure pointed to by pBitmap, for versioning. Use sizeof(BITMAPHANDLE).
pLoadOptions	Pointer to optional extended load options. Pass NULL to use the default load options.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.
