C # Bitblit from Bitmap for Management (Compact Framework)

Question

I used BitBlt to save a screenshot to an image file (.Net Compact Framework V3.5, Windows Mobile 2003 and later). Fine. Now I want to draw a bitmap in the form. I could use it this.CreateGraphics().DrawImage(mybitmap, 0, 0), but I was wondering if it would work with BitBlt as before, and just change the parameters. Therefore, I wrote:

[DllImport("coredll.dll")]
public static extern int BitBlt(IntPtr hdcDest, int nXDest, int nYDest, int nWidth, int nHeight, IntPtr hdcSrc, int nXSrc, int nYSrc, uint dwRop);

(and further down :)

IntPtr hb = mybitmap.GetHbitmap();
BitBlt(this.Handle, 0, 0, mybitmap.Width, mybitmap.Height, hb, 0, 0, 0x00CC0020);

But the shape remains plain white. Why is this? Where is the mistake I made? Thank you for your opinion. Cheers, David

Answer 1

this.Handle is a window handle, not a device context.

this.Handle this.CreateGraphics().GetHdc()

, ..

IntPtr hb = mybitmap.GetHbitmap(); 
using (Graphics gfx = this.CreateGraphics())
{
  BitBlt(gfx.GetHdc(), 0, 0, mybitmap.Width, mybitmap.Height, hb, 0, 0, 0x00CC0020);
}

, hb Bitmap Handle a device context, - . :

    using (Bitmap myBitmap = new Bitmap("c:\test.bmp"))
    {
        using (Graphics gfxBitmap = Graphics.FromImage(myBitmap))
        {
            using (Graphics gfxForm = this.CreateGraphics())
            {
                IntPtr hdcForm = gfxForm.GetHdc();
                IntPtr hdcBitmap = gfxBitmap.GetHdc();
                BitBlt(hdcForm, 0, 0, myBitmap.Width, myBitmap.Height, hdcBitmap, 0, 0, 0x00CC0020);
                gfxForm.ReleaseHdc(hdcForm);
                gfxBitmap.ReleaseHdc(hdcBitmap);
            }
        }
    }

- ?

    public void CopyFromScreen(int sourceX, int sourceY, int destinationX, 
                               int destinationY, Size blockRegionSize, 
                               CopyPixelOperation copyPixelOperation)
    {
        IntPtr desktopHwnd = GetDesktopWindow();
        if (desktopHwnd == IntPtr.Zero)
        {
            throw new System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception();
        }
        IntPtr desktopDC = GetWindowDC(desktopHwnd);
        if (desktopDC == IntPtr.Zero)
        {
            throw new System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception();
        }
        if (!BitBlt(hDC, destinationX, destinationY, blockRegionSize.Width, 
             blockRegionSize.Height, desktopDC, sourceX, sourceY, 
             copyPixelOperation))
        {
            throw new System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception();
        }
        ReleaseDC(desktopHwnd, desktopDC);
    }

FYI, SDF.

EDIT: , hDC BitBlt HDC ( ).

Answer 3

Are you sure you are this.Handlereferring to the actual device context? Have you tried checking the return value of a function BitBlt?

Try the following:

[DllImport("coredll.dll", EntryPoint="CreateCompatibleDC")]
public static extern IntPtr CreateCompatibleDC(IntPtr hdc);

[DllImport("coredll.dll", EntryPoint="GetDC")]
public static extern IntPtr GetDC(IntPtr hwnd);

IntPtr hdc     = GetDC(this.Handle);
IntPtr hdcComp = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc);

BitBlt(hdcComp, 0, 0, mybitmap.Width, mybitmap.Height, hb, 0, 0, 0x00CC0020);
