>Using VFP's OLEDragDrop it *is* possible to drop image data dragged from (for example) MS Office applications to a VFP OLEDragDrop target. Special thanks to Herman Tan for pointing out how to do this in the recent thread titled "OLEDragDrop GetData() in BMP/WAV format?".

I'm looking for suggestions on how to convert this DIB stream to a DIB handle so I can use the excellent GDIPLUS class on News2News.com that converts a DIB (via its handle) to any of the image types supported by Windows GDIPLUS subsystem.

Hi Malcolm,

This is what I think. The easy way to is to transform the DIB data from VFP into Bitmap Handle (HBITMAP). CreateDIBSection() API can do that. But unfortunately this is not so easy either <*g*> It's because (I think) you still have to parse the BITMAPINFOHEADER structure to get the right Bits Offset in order to make the function works properly.
