Draw on non standard bitmap using CreateDC

I've a non standard bitmap with Different BPP, I need to use GDI
command to draw on that bitmap, I've searched the net and I've found
that what I need to do is to have a display Driver.

Is this the correct path I should go for or there is much simpler way?

Thanks

Can you use GetDIBits / SetDIBits to convert to/from a HBITMAP and an
array of bytes that represents the pixels?

Umm.... No you don't need a display driver,

You need to use a BITMAPV4HEADER... it'll let you describe just about any
wacky RGBA bit arrangment you have.

I do not think so, I've a bitmap that has a non standard bpp, it may
have 2,3,5,6,7, 12 and 16 grayscal BPP.
the GetDIBits works only with standard bitmaps.

OK,

bV5BitCount supports only 1,4,8,16,24,32 BPP, my bitmap is non
standard it can be 2,3,5,6,7, 12 or 16 grayscal bitmap, and I need to
draw on that bitmap using GDI functions.



Thanks
