BITMAPFILEHEADER info  Overview  Group

The BITMAPFILEHEADER structure contains information about the type, size, and layout of a file that contains a device-independent bitmap (DIB).

typedef struct tagBITMAPFILEHEADER { // bmfh 

        WORD    bfType; 

        DWORD   bfSize; 

        WORD    bfReserved1; 

        WORD    bfReserved2; 

        DWORD   bfOffBits; 

} BITMAPFILEHEADER; 

 

Members
