How to convert Gdiplus::Bitmap* object into HBITMAP

Question

I am using MFC, now i have a bitmap object, obtained by using:

Gdiplus::Bitmap* bmp = Gdiplus::Bitmap::FromStream(pStream);

How to convert this bmp object into HBITMAP? I used :

HBITMAP hBitmap = NULL;
bmp->GetHBITMAP(Color::White, &hBitmap);

but it can't, hBitmap always return 0xcccccccc and notices that {unused=??? }. What can i do?

What is the status return code of the operation? – xMRi Mar 17 '14 at 08:02 — xMRi, Mar 17 '14 at 08:02

Not a direct answer but a way to load a stream into a bitmap. It doesn't need GDI+ at all.

CImage is a direct slim wrapper for a HBITMAP object from the ATL.

CImage is a part of ATL/MFC, which isn't available in Express editions of Visual Studio, while GDI+ is available even if you don't use VS at all... – AntonK Feb 13 '17 at 14:13
