Help with displaying an hBitmap on a canvas

[ozzie]

Help, please, you Windows API gurus!

I'm using a video playback library that includes a callback event for each frame displayed, and I want to take that frame and display it in a second 'monitor' window which contains little more than a canvas gadget. The callback provides the frame as an hBitmap. How can I copy that image to my canvas gadget? Do I need to use something like BitBlt_?

Code: Select all

StartDrawing(CanvasOutput(#canvas))
  DrawImage(hBitmap, 0, 0)
StopDrawing()

Many thanks - works perfectly (after adding the DrawImage Width and Height parameters to rescale the image). Didn't realize the solution would be so simple and standard-PB!
