Does anyone know how to get the handle of a bitmap? For example, I have the picture "pic.bmp" on my desktop- how do i make/get a handle for it?

First, what language are you using? I''ll assume c++, if not, e-mail me and I''ll help.

first include windows.h then all you need to do is paste in the follwoing line=

HANDLE h = LoadImage(0,"c:/windows/desktop/pic.bmp",IMAGE_BITMAP,0,0,LR_DEFAULTSIZE / LR_LOADFROMFILE);

and change the file path if nesscary.

As I said, if you are not using c++, or this is not what you needed, e-mail me and I''ll try to help then.
