I want to create a terrain by reading a gray scale bitmap. But how can I access the color of each pixel in the bitmap? I am using MFC, so I tried CBitmap::GetBitmapBits(DWORD dwCount, LPVOID lpBits), but it doesn''t seem to work... _______________________________________________________ "In C we had to code our own bugs.

I know that with the LoadBitmap() funcition or something like that, to set it up with DX you need to create an image buffer. Can you access this buffer with MFC? It can''t be that dissimilar from DX. Then you could access the pixel like this: Buffer[x * y]. You have probably already tried something like this...

Isn''t there a GetPixel(x,y); method or something?

Not that I know...

The LoadBitmap API call works with a buffer, so you can access the buffer after with something like:

Buffer[ y * Width + x ];

I don''t remember exactly the call to the function, but I think it returns a pointer to a buffer containing the image.
Not sure though (long time not used LoadBitmap).
