Example

this sample loads a bitmap from a resource as a DDB,
converts it to a DDB, and then sets that as the selection bitmap

L_INT ILM_SETSELBITMAPExample(HWND hWnd, HWND hCtrl,HINSTANCE hInst) 
{ 
   HBITMAP hBitmap=NULL; 
   BITMAPHANDLE Bitmap; 
   HDC hDC=NULL; 
   LILSELOPTION Opt; 
   
   if(IsWindow(hCtrl)) 
   { 
      /* get current selection options */ 
      SendMessage(hCtrl, L_ILM_GETSELOPTIONS, 0, (LPARAM)&Opt);  
 
      hBitmap = LoadBitmap(hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_FLAG)); 
 
      if(hBitmap) 
      { 
         hDC = GetDC(hWnd); 
         if(L_ConvertFromDDB(hDC, &Bitmap, sizeof(BITMAPHANDLE), hBitmap, NULL)==SUCCESS) 
         { 
            SendMessage(hCtrl, L_ILM_SETSELBITMAP, (WPARAM)RGB(0,255,0), (LPARAM)&Bitmap);  
            L_FreeBitmap(&Bitmap);  
         } 
         DeleteObject(hBitmap);  
         ReleaseDC(hWnd, hDC);  
      } 
      Opt.uSelectionStyle = SELECTIONSTYLE_USERBITMAP; 
      SendMessage(hCtrl, L_ILM_SETSELOPTIONS, 0, (LPARAM)&Opt);  
      RedrawWindow(hCtrl, NULL, NULL, RDW_INVALIDATE | RDW_UPDATENOW | RDW_ERASE);  
   } 
   return SUCCESS;
