Image.FromHbitmap Method (IntPtr)

.NET Framework 4.5

Creates a Bitmap from a handle to a GDI bitmap.

Namespace: System.Drawing
Assembly: System.Drawing (in System.Drawing.dll)

public static Bitmap FromHbitmap(
	IntPtr hbitmap
)

Parameters

hbitmap: Type: System.IntPtr
The GDI bitmap handle from which to create the Bitmap.

Return Value
