Thanks...
just look at the documentation for it :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/gdi/bitmaps_2y9g.asp
Also, here's the general way to access it:
#include "wingdi.h"
#pragma comment(lib, "MSIMG32.LIB")
If you are worried about win95, ( please note thats its almost 10 years old
! )
but here's a nice BitBlt approach (it uses MFC but i think you can figure
out how it works) :
