Sending Bitmap using Sockets ??

[Guest_imported]

Hey All.
I'm having a problem sending TBitmaps using TServer/TClient-Sockets.

I have tried using : Socket->SendBuf(bmp,sizeof(*bmp));
but the size of the fullscreen bitmap bmp, seems to be only 56 bytes ????
I you have any idea of what i´m doing wrong please write.
kind regards

send small portions of the buffer. Ion Filipski

The class TBitmap does not contain the Btmap data itself, but only the handle to the image which is stored anywhere in the memory.

Perhaps you can use the method "Writetostream" for your purposes. But i never tried this. if you succeed, please post the solution here.

Hey Guys.
I forgot my original login so I used qwert+++ before.
Have you got any idea of wicht desendent of the TStream to use, I tried to create an instance of TwinSocketStream, but i counldn't create one using new TWinSocketStream.
The I tried using TMemoryStream, I used bmp->SaveToStream( TStream* S), but the size of the stream of the fullsize screenshot was only 40 bytes ?? Do any of you guys know how to get a handle to the actual bitmap, ( The TBitmap* contains the bitmap and the pallet right ?).
Tnx.
