get DC of HBITMAP

[Zolix2010]

hi,
i want to make a skin (like we all).
i load a bitmap.
got a dc.
but now, when i wanna make bitblt, i need to enter the HDC of the destination (the bitmap as i think).
how do i do it?
and if im wrong - where is my mistake?

look at this code its doing what you want to:

HWND hwnd = m_hWnd; // handle to the window you want to blit to.
HDC hDC = ::GetDC( hwnd );

HBITMAP bmp = ::LoadBitmap(::GetModuleHandle(0),MAKEINTRESOURCE (IDB_BITMAP1));

HDC dcMem = ::CreateCompatibleDC( hDC );
HBITMAP hOld = (HBITMAP)::SelectObject(dcMem,bmp);

BITMAP bitmap={0};
::GetObject ( bmp,sizeof(BITMAP),&bitmap);
::BitBlt(hDC,0,0,bitmap.bmWidth,bitmap.bmHeight,dcMem,0,0,SRCCOPY);

// clean up
::SelectObject(dcMem,hOld);
::DeleteObject(bmp);
::ReleaseDC(hwnd,dcMem);
::ReleaseDC(hwnd,hDC);

Golan's code is leaking memory objects because he is not deleting his loaded bitmap. So DeleteObject() your bitmap if you don't need it anymore.
