Image.FromHbitmap Method (IntPtr, IntPtr)

.NET Framework 4

Other Versions

Creates a Bitmap from a handle to a GDI bitmap and a handle to a GDI palette.

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

Syntax

C++

Copy

public static Bitmap FromHbitmap(
	IntPtr hbitmap,
	IntPtr hpalette
)

Parameters

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

hpalette: Type: System.IntPtr
A handle to a GDI palette used to define the bitmap colors if the bitmap specified in the hBitmap parameter is not a device-independent bitmap (DIB).

The Bitmap this method creates.

Remarks

The FromHbitmap method makes a copy of the GDI bitmap; so you can release the incoming GDI bitmap using the GDI DeleteObject method immediately after creating the new Image.
