- Visual Basic is pretty spiffy, but leaves out some standard features
- available in GW-BASIC and QuickBASIC. It's possible to get at most of these
- through API calls, but that can require a bit of work.
-
- The attached program uses a subroutine to "pretty up" the API call (BitBlt)
- that serves like the graphic Get and Put statements in DOS Basic. You pass
- (by value) the hDC's (just stick ".hDC" on whatever pictures you're using)
- of the two pictures involved, followed by the coords in the normal Get/Put
- order, and finish with a Put-like mode (a global constant).
-
- The interactive example should make everything clear, and it should be easy
- to extract the core of the sub and use it in your own programs. BitBlt
- (and companion StretchBlt) can do more that just a plain Get/Put, but this
- subroutine gives you access to the main function.
