What does createWindowsDIB return?

[skirby]

Based on previous postings the createWindowsDIB does not return a BITMAPINFO structure. Indications are that I will be required to build the structure myself. What does the createWindowDIB actually return?

It just returns a raw buffer containing the bitmap data. You have to create the header yourself according to the parameters you passed into createWindowsDIB()
