I have a 3rd party component which requires me to give it the bitsperpixel from a bitmap.
What\'s the best way to get \"bits per pixel\"?
My starting point is th
Use the Pixelformat property, this returns a Pixelformat enumeration which can have values like f.e. Format24bppRgb
, which obviously is 24 bits per pixel, so you should be able to do something like this:
switch(Pixelformat)
{
...
case Format8bppIndexed:
BitsPerPixel = 8;
break;
case Format24bppRgb:
BitsPerPixel = 24;
break;
case Format32bppArgb:
case Format32bppPArgb:
...
BitsPerPixel = 32;
break;
default:
BitsPerPixel = 0;
break;
}
