  static CBitmap* FromHandle( HBITMAP hBitmap );
 
  Parameter   Description
 
  <hBitmap>   Specifies a Windows GDI bitmap.
 
  Remarks
 
  Returns a pointer to a CBitmap object when given a handle to a Windows
  GDI bitmap. If a CBitmap object is not already attached to the handle, a
  temporary CBitmap object is created and attached. This temporary CBitmap
  object is valid only until the next time the application has idle time
  in its event loop, at which time all temporary graphic objects are
  deleted. Another way of saying this is that the temporary object is only
  valid during the processing of one window message.
 
  Return Value
 
  A pointer to a CBitmap object if successful; otherwise NULL.
