BUG: Incorrect Painting Using Pattern Brushes on DIBSections

ID: Q149956

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK), version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When using a pattern brush from CreatePatternBrush() on a DIBSection, where the DIBSection is of a different bit-depth than the screen, the result of the painting is incorrect.

RESOLUTION

A pattern brush, created with a call to CreatePatternBrush(), can only be used on device dependent bitmaps (DDBs) or DIBSections of the same bit-depth as the screen. A DIBPatternBrush should be used on a DIBSection having a different bit-depth than the screen. This DIBPatternBrush is created with a call to CreateDIBPatternBrushPt().

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
