- STR2BMP.DLL v 1.0 (6-13-93)
- ---------------------------
- STR2BMP.DLL contains a DLL called STR2BMP.DLL for converting VB bitmaps
- into VB strings and vice versa. Also included are functions for inverting,
- ANDing, ORing, and comparing bitmaps that have been converted to strings.
- The source code for STR2BMP.DLL is included and may be modified as needed.
-
- I. Instructions for demo.
- A. Install all the files from STR2BMP.ZIP into a directory called C:\STR2BMP.
- B. From VB/WIN, load the C:\STR2BMP\TEST.MAK program and execute it.
- C. The code demonstrates converting bitmaps to strings, performing operations
- on the strings, and converting the strings back into bitmaps.
-
- II. Technical information.
- A. The source code included was compiled using Borland C++ 3.1.
- B. The maximum size bitmap that can be converted into a string using this DLL
- is 32000 pixels.
- C. To AND/OR two bitmaps, the bitmaps must be the same size.
- D. Always remember to create a string large enough to hold the entire bitmap
- before calling DLL functions that expect strings containing bitmaps. Otherwise
- you may get a GPF. See sample code in TEST.FRM. The current DLL does
- not check the size of the string before trying to fill it!!! An error will
- be caused if you try to stuff too much bitmap into too small a string!!!
-
- III. Questions or suggestions.
- Please contact Jorge Monasterio at Compuserve 72147,2674 if you have
- any questions or suggestions about this DLL.
