Editing a Bitmap, while keeping it's color-depth & colors ?

Hello All,

I would like to be able to edit a .BMP-file, while retaining it's
color-depth & colors.

Actually, I want to cut small pieces outof one .BMP, and store it into
another one. Jup, sort of a tile-editor :-)

Does anyone have a small sample (or pointer to one) of howto :
1) Load & save a device-independant bitmap (DIB).
2) Create a Device-independant bitmap that has the color-depth/colors of
another DIB
3) BitBlit from one to the other (although I think I allready have an idea
how to do this :-)

I've allready looked in my snippets-bag & used google, but I can't say I
grasp what has to be done ... :-\

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

I haven't used authentication/authorization in awhile. I'm having a hard time deciding how to display the edit column in a datagrid ONLY if a user with proper credentials is logged in. In other words, if 'joe public' goes to the site, I don't want him to see the edit options, however if an admin is logged in, I want them to see the edit icon. How do you do this? Thanks for any help, I'm sure I just need my memory jarred...

I need to create a Drawing.Bitmap from an array of integer values. My current technique creates a bitmap that eventually becomes corrupt (i.e., the bitmap's pixels change to a different color after a while). Can somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Here is a sample: Public Shared Function CreateBitmapFromArray( _ ByVal width As Integer, _ ByVal height As Integer, _ ByVal pixelFormat As Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat, _

hi everyone- my subject pretty much says it all- is there a secure way to do this? the non-secure ways are, as i understand it, to populate a listbox with indices as names, or maybe use a hidden control. is the only secure way with sessions? i was also thinking about perhaps creating a meta table that says who is editing which record right now. any advice? thanks, dino

I have created declared a Bitmap using the following statement: Dim bmp As New Bitmap(100, 100, PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed) Because the SetPixel() method is disabled and a Graphics object cannot be created for indexed PixelFormats, I am not sure how to edit the Bitmap. I am assuming that there is some class or technique other than the following: Dim bmpdata As BitmapData = bmp.LockBits(New Rectangle(0, 0, bmp.Width, bmp.Height),...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
