Direct Draw Surface to bitmap

Hello!

I'm trying to learn some Direct Draw programming and would like to know how
I can read the content of a DD-surface into a bitmap.

Then I wonder where I can find a help file for the things defined in
ddraw.h.

Thanks in advance
Tomas

Re:Direct Draw Surface to bitmap

You can Lock and memcpy the surface data directly to a bitmap
