TBitMap to file

[Natter]

I get an icon associated with a file type
img:=BmpFromIcon(EXTRACTASSICON( 0, nam, @sol))
img:=TBitmap():Define(,, oWnd:aControls[1]:aDialogs[2], img)

img - is an object of TBitMap. How can I save this bitmap to a file ?

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

function icofile2bmpfile()

   local cFile, cBmpFile
   local hIco, hBmp, hDib

   cFile    := "\fwh\manual\manual FWH english.doc"
   cBmpFile := "doc.bmp"

   if File( cFile )
      hIco     := ICON_READ( TrueName( cFile ) )
      hBmp     := BMPFROMICON( hIco )
      hDib     := DibFromBitmap( hBmp )
      DibWrite( cBmpFile, hDib )

      DestroyIcon( hIco )
      DeleteObject( hBmp )
      GlobalFree( hDIB )
   endif

return nil
 

The functions I used are available in all versions of FWH.
If you use current versions of FWH you do not need to convert files from ico to bmp, because you can directly use ico files for any purpose.

ib think we can use gdi save functions

The function I suggested uses GDI functions.
I guess you mean GDI+, not GDI.
Yes, there are many ways to do the same thing.
I preferred to do it in the simplest and shortest manner, using functions existing in FWH of all versions.
