  BOOL CreatePatternBrush( CBitmap* pBitmap );
 
  Parameter   Description
 
  <pBitmap>   Identifies a bitmap.
 
  Remarks
 
  Initializes a brush with a pattern specified by a bitmap. The brush can
  subsequently be selected for any device context that supports raster
  operations. The bitmap identified by <pBitmap> is typically initialized
  by using the ◄CBitmap::CreateBitmap►, ◄CBitmap::CreateBitmapIndirect►,
  ◄CBitmap::LoadBitmap►, or ◄CBitmap::CreateCompatibleBitmap► function.
 
  Bitmaps used as fill patterns should be 8 pixels by 8 pixels. If the
  bitmap is larger, Windows will only use the bits corresponding to the
  first 8 rows and columns of pixels in the upper-left corner of the
  bitmap.
 
  A pattern brush can be deleted without affecting the associated bitmap.
  This means the bitmap can be used to create any number of pattern
  brushes.
 
  A brush created using a monochrome bitmap (1 color plane, 1 bit per
  pixel) is drawn using the current text and background colors. Pixels
  represented by a bit set to 0 are drawn with the current text color.
  Pixels represented by a bit set to 1 are drawn with the current
  background color.
 
  Return Value
 
  TRUE if successful; otherwise FALSE.
