Hi,

can somebody PLEASE provide me with a detailed desciption of how to use
DIB's in Delphi and the functions GetDiBits and StretchDiBits ?

I have read the TI-3155 file ("Better way to print a form"), but I still
don't get it....how can I access the pixels directly !?!?!?

Please E-mail me, if you've any useful information.....

Thanks in advance,

Delphi 3 allows you to do this (using DIBS by default and gives you a
memory handle)

For StretchDiBits, look in manuals.txt (I think its only in Delphi16),
but there is an example of its usage there.

Could you expand on this, I've not heard this before with regard to
Delphi 3, I'd be very interested to know more, thanks.
