L_ReleaseBitmap

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_VOID EXT_FUNCTION L_ReleaseBitmap(pBitmap)

/* pointer to the bitmap handle */

Releases memory back to Windows, reversing the action of the L_AccessBitmap function. This has the same effect as the Windows API GlobalUnlock function.

Parameter	Description
pBitmap	Pointer to the bitmap handle referencing the bitmap to be released.

Returns

None.

Comments

Use this along with the L_AccessBitmap function to control the access to bitmap data in memory. Any attempt to access the image data after calling L_ReleaseBitmap will result in an application error.

You should call this function whenever the image is not used, so that Windows can manage its memory properly.
