ChangeToHBitmap(RasterImage) Method

public static IntPtr ChangeToHBitmap( 
   RasterImage image
)

public static IntPtr ChangeToHBitmap( 
   RasterImage image
)

 function Leadtools.Drawing.RasterImageConverter.ChangeToHBitmap(RasterImage)( 
   image 
)

public:
static IntPtr ChangeToHBitmap( 
   RasterImage^ image
)

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Shared Function ChangeToHBitmap( _
   ByVal image As RasterImage _
) As IntPtr

'Usage
 
Dim image As RasterImage
Dim value As IntPtr
 
value = RasterImageConverter.ChangeToHBitmap(image)

Parameters

image: The source image.

Return Value

A handle to the device dependent bitmap (DDB) this method creates.

This method results in only one copy of the image, and it invalidates this Leadtools.RasterImage object. You must call RasterImage.Dispose after calling this method.

For more information on DDBs and DIBs, refer to Using DIBs, DDBs, and the Clipboard.

For more information refer to RasterImage and GDI/GDI+.

For an example, refer to ChangeToHBitmap(RasterImage).
