OK, I have written a custom format for my textures that I use in-game. It decreases CPU usage, memory usage, and it speeds up loading times. However, since it is not a bitmap, how would I display the texture in Windoze? I can easily read in the RGB array, but then what? How can I display the RGB array in a window? If you're wondering, the editor uses a STATIC class window for displaying the images.

Load the respective red, green and blue components into a COLOREF structure and use SetPixel(). Slow though.

That what you mean?

why not use CreateBitmap? all you have to do is load your rgb data into an array and send it to the CreateBitmap function including the width, height and stuff... And the just blit it onto the window/screen...

Exactly what I was looking to do. Thank ya'.
