Public Operators

Name Description
CImage::operator HBITMAP Returns the Windows handle attached to the CImage object.

Remarks

CImage takes bitmaps that are either device-independent bitmap (DIB) sections or not; however, you can use Create or CImage::Load with only DIB sections. You can attach a non-DIB section bitmap to a CImage object using Attach, but then you cannot use the following CImage methods, which support only DIB section bitmaps:

To determine if an attached bitmap is a DIB section, call IsDibSection.

Note

In Visual Studio .NET 2003, this class keeps a count of the number of CImage objects created. Whenever the count goes to 0, the function GdiplusShutdown is automatically called to release resources used by GDI+. This ensures that any CImage objects created directly or indirectly by DLLs are always destroyed properly and that GdiplusShutdown is not called from DllMain.

Note

Using global CImage objects in a DLL is not recommended. If you need to use a global CImage object in a DLL, call CImage::ReleaseGDIPlus to explicitly release resources used by GDI+.

CImage cannot be selected into a new CDC. CImage creates its own HDC for the image. Because an HBITMAP can only be selected into one HDC at a time, the HBITMAP associated with the CImage cannot be selected into another HDC. If you need a CDC, retrieve the HDC from the CImage and give it to CDC::FromHandle.

Examples

// Get a CDC for the image
CDC* pDC = CDC::FromHandle(m_myImage.GetDC());

// Use pDC here
pDC->Rectangle(0, 40, 100, 50);
m_myImage.ReleaseDC();

When you use CImage in an MFC project, note which member functions in your project expect a pointer to a CBitmap object. If you want to use CImage with such a function, like CMenu::AppendMenu, use CBitmap::FromHandle, pass it your CImage HBITMAP, and use the returned CBitmap*.

void CMyDlg::OnRButtonDown(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{
    UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER(nFlags);

    CBitmap* pBitmap = CBitmap::FromHandle(m_myImage);
    m_pmenuPop->AppendMenu(0, ID_BMPCOMMAND, pBitmap);
    ClientToScreen(&point);
    m_pmenuPop->TrackPopupMenu(TPM_RIGHTBUTTON | TPM_LEFTALIGN, point.x,
    point.y, this);
}

Through CImage, you have access to the actual bits of a DIB section. You can use a CImage object anywhere you previously used a Win32 HBITMAP or DIB section.

You can use CImage from either MFC or ATL.

Note

When you create a project using CImage, you must define CString before you include atlimage.h. If your project uses ATL without MFC, include atlstr.h before you include atlimage.h. If your project uses MFC (or if it is an ATL project with MFC support), include afxstr.h before you include atlimage.h.

Likewise, you must include atlimage.h before you include atlimpl.cpp. To accomplish this easily, include atlimage.h in your pch.h (stdafx.h in Visual Studio 2017 and earlier).

Requirements

Header: atlimage.h

CImage::AlphaBlend

Displays bitmaps that have transparent or semitransparent pixels.

BOOL AlphaBlend(
    HDC hDestDC,
    int xDest,
    int yDest,
    BYTE bSrcAlpha = 0xff,
    BYTE bBlendOp = AC_SRC_OVER) const throw();

BOOL AlphaBlend(
    HDC hDestDC,
    const POINT& pointDest,
    BYTE bSrcAlpha = 0xff,
    BYTE bBlendOp = AC_SRC_OVER) const throw();

BOOL AlphaBlend(
    HDC hDestDC,
    int xDest,
    int yDest,
    int nDestWidth,
    int nDestHeight,
    int xSrc,
    int ySrc,
    int nSrcWidth,
    int nSrcHeight,
    BYTE bSrcAlpha = 0xff,
    BYTE bBlendOp = AC_SRC_OVER);

BOOL AlphaBlend(
    HDC hDestDC,
    const RECT& rectDest,
    const RECT& rectSrc,
    BYTE bSrcAlpha = 0xff,
    BYTE bBlendOp = AC_SRC_OVER);

Parameters

hDestDC
Handle to the destination device context.

xDest
The x-coordinate, in logical units, of the upper left corner of the destination rectangle.

yDest
The y-coordinate, in logical units, of the upper left corner of the destination rectangle.

bSrcAlpha
An alpha transparency value to be used on the entire source bitmap. The default 0xff (255) assumes that your image is opaque, and that you want to use per-pixel alpha values only.

bBlendOp
The alpha-blending function for source and destination bitmaps, a global alpha value to be applied to the entire source bitmap, and format information for the source bitmap. The source and destination blend functions are currently limited to AC_SRC_OVER.

pointDest
A reference to a POINT structure that identifies the upper left corner of the destination rectangle, in logical units.

nDestWidth
The width, in logical units, of the destination rectangle.

nDestHeight
The height, in logical units, of the destination rectangle.

xSrc
The logical x-coordinate of the upper left corner of the source rectangle.

ySrc
The logical y-coordinate of the upper left corner of the source rectangle.

nSrcWidth
The width, in logical units, of the source rectangle.

nSrcHeight
The height, in logical units, of the source rectangle.

rectDest
A reference to a RECT structure, identifying the destination.

rectSrc
A reference to a RECT structure, identifying the source.

Return Value

Nonzero if successful; otherwise 0.

Remarks

Alpha-blend bitmaps support color blending on a per-pixel basis.

When bBlendOp is set to the default of AC_SRC_OVER, the source bitmap is placed over the destination bitmap based on the alpha values of the source pixels.

CImage::Attach

Attaches hBitmap to a CImage object.

void Attach(HBITMAP hBitmap, DIBOrientation eOrientation = DIBOR_DEFAULT) throw();

Parameters

hBitmap
A handle to an HBITMAP.

eOrientation
Specifies the orientation of the bitmap. Can be one of the following:

  • DIBOR_DEFAULT The orientation of the bitmap is determined by the operating system.

  • DIBOR_BOTTOMUP The lines of the bitmap are in reverse order. This causes CImage::GetBits to return a pointer near the end of the bitmap buffer and CImage::GetPitch to return a negative number.

  • DIBOR_TOPDOWN The lines of the bitmap are in top to bottom order. This causes CImage::GetBits to return a pointer to the first byte of the bitmap buffer and CImage::GetPitch to return a positive number.

Remarks

The bitmap can be either a non-DIB section bitmap or a DIB section bitmap. See IsDIBSection for a list of methods that you can use only with DIB section bitmaps.

CImage::BitBlt

Copies a bitmap from the source device context to this current device context.

BOOL BitBlt(
    HDC hDestDC,
    int xDest,
    int yDest,
    DWORD dwROP = SRCCOPY) const throw();

BOOL BitBlt(
    HDC hDestDC,
    const POINT& pointDest,
    DWORD dwROP = SRCCOPY) const throw();

BOOL BitBlt(
    HDC hDestDC,
    int xDest,
    int yDest,
    int nDestWidth,
    int nDestHeight,
    int xSrc,
    int ySrc,
    DWORD dwROP = SRCCOPY) const throw();

BOOL BitBlt(
    HDC hDestDC,
    const RECT& rectDest,
    const POINT& pointSrc,
    DWORD dwROP = SRCCOPY) const throw();

Parameters

hDestDC
The destination HDC.

xDest
The logical x-coordinate of the upper left corner of the destination rectangle.

yDest
The logical y-coordinate of the upper left corner of the destination rectangle.

dwROP
The raster operation to be performed. Raster-operation codes define exactly how to combine the bits of the source, the destination, and the pattern (as defined by the currently selected brush) to form the destination. See BitBlt in the Windows SDK for a list of other raster-operation codes and their descriptions.

pointDest
A POINT structure indicating the upper left corner of the destination rectangle.

nDestWidth
The width, in logical units, of the destination rectangle.

nDestHeight
The height, in logical units, of the destination rectangle.

xSrc
The logical x-coordinate of the upper left corner of the source rectangle.

ySrc
The logical y-coordinate of the upper left corner of the source rectangle.

rectDest
A RECT structure indicating the destination rectangle.

pointSrc
A POINT structure indicating the upper left corner of the source rectangle.

Return Value

Nonzero if successful; otherwise zero.

Remarks

For more information, see BitBlt in the Windows SDK.

CImage::CImage

Constructs a CImage object.

CImage() throw();

Remarks

Once you have constructed the object, call Create, Load, LoadFromResource, or Attach to attach a bitmap to the object.

Note In Visual Studio, this class keeps a count of the number of CImage objects created. Whenever the count goes to 0, the function GdiplusShutdown is automatically called to release resources used by GDI+. This ensures that any CImage objects created directly or indirectly by DLLs are always destroyed properly and that GdiplusShutdown is not called from DllMain.

Using global CImage objects in a DLL is not recommended. If you need to use a global CImage object in a DLL, call CImage::ReleaseGDIPlus to explicitly release resources used by GDI+.

CImage::Create

Creates a CImage bitmap and attach it to the previously constructed CImage object.

BOOL Create(
    int nWidth,
    int nHeight,
    int nBPP,
    DWORD dwFlags = 0) throw();

Parameters

nWidth
The width of the CImage bitmap, in pixels.

nHeight
The height of the CImage bitmap, in pixels. If nHeight is positive, the bitmap is a bottom-up DIB and its origin is the lower left corner. If nHeight is negative, the bitmap is a top-down DIB and its origin is the upper left corner.

nBPP
The numbers of bits per pixel in the bitmap. Usually 4, 8, 16, 24, or 32. Can be 1 for monochrome bitmaps or masks.

dwFlags
Specifies if the bitmap object has an alpha channel. Can be a combination of zero or more of the following values:

  • createAlphaChannel Can only be used if nBPP is 32, and eCompression is BI_RGB. If specified, the created image has an alpha (transparency) value for each pixel, stored in the 4th byte of each pixel (unused in a non-alpha 32-bit image). This alpha channel is automatically used when calling CImage::AlphaBlend.

Note

In calls to CImage::Draw, images with an alpha channel are automatically alpha blended to the destination.

Return Value

Nonzero if successful; otherwise 0.

CImage::CreateEx

Creates a CImage bitmap and attach it to the previously constructed CImage object.

BOOL CreateEx(
    int nWidth,
    int nHeight,
    int nBPP,
    DWORD eCompression,
    const DWORD* pdwBitmasks = NULL,
    DWORD dwFlags = 0) throw();

Parameters

nWidth
The width of the CImage bitmap, in pixels.

nHeight
The height of the CImage bitmap, in pixels. If nHeight is positive, the bitmap is a bottom-up DIB and its origin is the lower left corner. If nHeight is negative, the bitmap is a top-down DIB and its origin is the upper left corner.

nBPP
The numbers of bits per pixel in the bitmap. Usually 4, 8, 16, 24, or 32. Can be 1 for monochrome bitmaps or masks.

eCompression
Specifies the type of compression for a compressed bottom-up bitmap (top-down DIBs cannot be compressed). Can be one of the following values:

  • BI_RGB The format is uncompressed. Specifying this value when calling CImage::CreateEx is equivalent to calling CImage::Create.

  • BI_BITFIELDS The format is uncompressed and the color table consists of three DWORD color masks that specify the red, green, and blue components, respectively, of each pixel. This is valid when used with 16- and 32-bpp bitmaps.

pdwBitfields
Only used if eCompression is set to BI_BITFIELDS, otherwise it must be NULL. A pointer to an array of three DWORD bitmasks, specifying which bits of each pixel are used for the red, green, and blue components of the color, respectively. For information on restrictions for the bitfields, see BITMAPINFOHEADER in the Windows SDK.

dwFlags
Specifies if the bitmap object has an alpha channel. Can be a combination of zero or more of the following values:

  • createAlphaChannel Can only be used if nBPP is 32, and eCompression is BI_RGB. If specified, the created image has an alpha (transparency) value for each pixel, stored in the 4th byte of each pixel (unused in a non-alpha 32-bit image). This alpha channel is automatically used when calling CImage::AlphaBlend.

    Note

    In calls to CImage::Draw, images with an alpha channel are automatically alpha blended to the destination.

Return Value

TRUE if successful. Otherwise FALSE.

Example

The following example creates a 100x100 pixel bitmap, using 16 bits to encode each pixel. In a given 16-bit pixel, bits 0-3 encode the red component, bits 4-7 encode green, and bits 8-11 encode blue. The remaining 4 bits are unused.

DWORD adwBitmasks[3] = { 0x0000000f, 0x000000f0, 0x00000f00 };
m_myImage.CreateEx(100, 100, 16, BI_BITFIELDS, adwBitmasks, 0);

CImage::Destroy

Detaches the bitmap from the CImage object and destroys the bitmap.

void Destroy() throw();

CImage::Detach

Detaches a bitmap from a CImage object.

HBITMAP Detach() throw();

Return Value

A handle to the bitmap detached, or NULL if no bitmap is attached.

CImage::Draw

Copies a bitmap from the source device context to the current device context.

BOOL Draw(
    HDC hDestDC,
    int xDest,
    int yDest,
    int nDestWidth,
    int nDestHeight,
    int xSrc,
    int ySrc,
    int nSrcWidth,
    int nSrcHeight) const throw();

BOOL Draw(
    HDC hDestDC,
    const RECT& rectDest,
    const RECT& rectSrc) const throw();

BOOL Draw(
    HDC hDestDC,
    int xDest,
    int yDest) const throw();

BOOL Draw(
    HDC hDestDC,
    const POINT& pointDest) const throw();

BOOL Draw(
    HDC hDestDC,
    int xDest,
    int yDest,
    int nDestWidth,
    int nDestHeight) const throw();

BOOL Draw(
    HDC hDestDC,
    const RECT& rectDest) const throw();

Parameters

hDestDC
A handle to the destination device context.

xDest
The x-coordinate, in logical units, of the upper left corner of the destination rectangle.

yDest
The y-coordinate, in logical units, of the upper left corner of the destination rectangle.

nDestWidth
The width, in logical units, of the destination rectangle.

nDestHeight
The height, in logical units, of the destination rectangle.

xSrc
The x-coordinate, in logical units, of the upper left corner of the source rectangle.

ySrc
The y-coordinate, in logical units, of the upper left corner of the source rectangle.

nSrcWidth
The width, in logical units, of the source rectangle.

nSrcHeight
The height, in logical units, of the source rectangle.

rectDest
A reference to a RECT structure, identifying the destination.

rectSrc
A reference to a RECT structure, identifying the source.

pointDest
A reference to a POINT structure that identifies the upper left corner of the destination rectangle, in logical units.

Return Value

Nonzero if successful; otherwise 0.

Remarks

Draw performs the same operation as StretchBlt, unless the image contains a transparent color or alpha channel. In that case, Draw performs the same operation as either TransparentBlt or AlphaBlend as required.

For versions of Draw that do not specify a source rectangle, the entire source image is the default. For the version of Draw that does not specify a size for the destination rectangle, the size of the source image is the default and no stretching or shrinking occurs.

CImage::GetBits

Retrieves a pointer to the actual bit values of a given pixel in a bitmap.

void* GetBits() throw();

Return Value

A pointer to the bitmap buffer. If the bitmap is a bottom-up DIB, the pointer points near the end of the buffer. If the bitmap is a top-down DIB, the pointer points to the first byte of the buffer.

Remarks

Using this pointer, along with the value returned by GetPitch, you can locate and change individual pixels in an image.

Note

This method supports only DIB section bitmaps; consequently, you access the pixels of a CImage object the same way you would the pixels of a DIB section. The returned pointer points to the pixel at the location (0, 0).

CImage::GetBPP

Retrieves the bits-per-pixel value.

int GetBPP() const throw();

Return Value

The number of bits per pixel.

Remarks

This value determines the number of bits that define each pixel and the maximum number of colors in the bitmap.

The bits per pixel is usually 1, 4, 8, 16, 24, or 32. See the biBitCount member of BITMAPINFOHEADER in the Windows SDK for more information about this value.

CImage::GetColorTable

Retrieves red, green, blue (RGB) color values from a range of entries in the palette of the DIB section.

void GetColorTable(
    UINT iFirstColor,
    UINT nColors,
    RGBQUAD* prgbColors) const throw();

Parameters

iFirstColor
The color table index of the first entry to retrieve.

nColors
The number of color table entries to retrieve.

prgbColors
A pointer to the array of RGBQUAD structures to retrieve the color table entries.

CImage::GetDC

Retrieves the device context that currently has the image selected into it.

HDC GetDC() const throw();

Return Value

A handle to a device context.

Remarks

For each call to GetDC, you must have a subsequent call to ReleaseDC.

CImage::GetExporterFilterString

Finds image formats available for saving images.

static HRESULT GetExporterFilterString(
    CSimpleString& strExporters,
    CSimpleArray<GUID>& aguidFileTypes,
    LPCTSTR pszAllFilesDescription = NULL,
    DWORD dwExclude = excludeDefaultSave,
    TCHAR chSeparator = _T('|'));

Parameters

For example:

//First filter in the list will be titled "All Image Files", and
//will accept files with any extension supported by any importer.
CImage::GetImporterFilterString(
    strImporters, aguidFileTypes,
_T("All Image Files"));

The parameter strImporter has the format:

`file description 0|.ext0|file description 1|.ext1|...file description N|*.extN||

where | is the separator character specified by chSeparator. For example:

"Bitmap format|*.bmp|JPEG format|*.jpg|GIF format|*.gif|PNG format|*.png||"

Use the default separator | if you pass this string to an MFC CFileDialog object. Use the null separator '\0' if you pass this string to a common File Open dialog box.

CImage::GetMaxColorTableEntries

Retrieves the maximum number of entries in the color table.

int GetMaxColorTableEntries() const throw();

Return Value

The number of entries in the color table.

Remarks

This method supports only DIB section bitmaps.

CImage::GetPitch

Retrieves the pitch of an image.

int GetPitch() const throw();

Return Value

The pitch of the image. If the return value is negative, the bitmap is a bottom-up DIB and its origin is the lower left corner. If the return value is positive, the bitmap is a top-down DIB and its origin is the upper left corner.

Remarks

The pitch is the distance, in bytes, between two memory addresses that represent the beginning of one bitmap line and the beginning of the next bitmap line. Because pitch is measured in bytes, the pitch of an image helps you to determine the pixel format. The pitch can also include additional memory, reserved for the bitmap.

Use GetPitch with GetBits to find individual pixels of an image.

Note

This method supports only DIB section bitmaps.

CImage::GetPixel

Retrieves the color of the pixel at the location specified by x and y.

COLORREF GetPixel(int x, int y) const throw();

Parameters

x
The x-coordinate of the pixel.

y
The y-coordinate of the pixel.

Return Value

The red, green, blue (RGB) value of the pixel. If the pixel is outside of the current clipping region, the return value is CLR_INVALID.

CImage::GetPixelAddress

Retrieves the exact address of a pixel.

void* GetPixelAddress(int x, int y) throw();

Parameters

x
The x-coordinate of the pixel.

y
The y-coordinate of the pixel.

Remarks

The address is determined according to the coordinates of a pixel, the pitch of the bitmap, and the bits per pixel.

For formats that have less than 8 bits per pixel, this method returns the address of the byte containing the pixel. For example, if your image format has 4 bits per pixel, GetPixelAddress returns the address of the first pixel in the byte, and you must calculate for 2 pixels per byte.

Note

This method supports only DIB section bitmaps.

CImage::GetTransparentColor

Retrieves the indexed location of the transparent color in the color palette.

LONG GetTransparentColor() const throw();

Return Value

The index of the transparent color.

CImage::GetWidth

Retrieves the width, in pixels, of an image.

int GetWidth() const throw();

Return Value

The width of the bitmap, in pixels.

CImage::IsDIBSection

Determines if the attached bitmap is a DIB section.

bool IsDIBSection() const throw();

Return Value

TRUE if the attached bitmap is a DIB section. Otherwise FALSE.

Remarks

If the bitmap is not a DIB section, you cannot use the following CImage methods, which support only DIB section bitmaps:

CImage::IsIndexed

Determines whether a bitmap's pixels are mapped to a color palette.

bool IsIndexed() const throw();

Return Value

TRUE if indexed; otherwise FALSE.

Remarks

This method returns TRUE only if the bitmap is 8-bit (256 colors) or less.

Note

This method supports only DIB section bitmaps.

Determines if a bitmap is currently loaded.

bool IsNull() const throw();

Remarks

This method returns TRUE if a bitmap is not currently loaded; otherwise FALSE.

CImage::IsTransparencySupported

Indicates whether the application supports transparent bitmaps.

static BOOL IsTransparencySupported() throw();

Return Value

Nonzero if the current platform supports transparency. Otherwise 0.

Remarks

If the return value is nonzero, and transparency is supported, a call to AlphaBlend, TransparentBlt, or Draw will handle transparent colors.
