HBITMAP WinGetSysBitmap(hwndDesktop, ibm)
HWND hwndDesktop;    /* handle of the desktop      */
USHORT ibm;          /* index of the system bitmap */
 
The WinGetSysBitmap function returns a handle to one of the standard bitmaps
provided by the system. This bitmap can be used for any of the normal bitmap
operations. When your application is done with the bitmap, it should free it
by calling GpiDeleteBitmap.
