Hello,
anyone know what is the header for Bitmap?
When i try compile

Bitmap myBitmap;

i get the error: 'Bitmap' was not declared in this scope.

Im using Code::Blocks and WinXP sp3.

I don't know of any Bitmap class in C++. What leads you to believe there should be?

You are just right about that!
This is the code im using:

Bitmap myBitmap;
myBitmap = myBitmap::FromHBITMAP(hBitmap,NULL)

Would you tell me how to write it in C++?

I just found out it is C++, but an external "image library". I am a newbie so this is all new to me.
Would you suggest an "image library" for me to use, so that i can get the rgb values from HBITMAP and also save the whole image in HBITMAP to a .bmp file?
Thanks

All right i found a very good answer for this and here is the quote:

Bitmap is a class defined in GDI+ Library.
To use it, you have to do the following:

• include <ghiplus.h> header;
  
• link your project to gdiplus.lib;
  
• initialize GDI+ library by a call to GdiplusStartup;
  
• use Gdiplus namespace anytime you are using GDI+ stuff;
  
• read GDI+ documentation and examples (see the links below).

More info you can find in:

• MSDN: GDI+ / Using Images, Bitmaps, and Metafiles
  
• MSDN: GdiplusStartup Function
  
• MSDN: Bitmap Class
  
• Codeguru articles: GDI+
