TBitmap.HandleType Property

Indicates whether the bitmap is a device-dependent bitmap, or a device-independent bitmap.

Pascal
property HandleType: TBitmapHandleType;
C++
__property TBitmapHandleType HandleType;

HandleType is used to find or modify the type of the bitmap. Device-dependent bitmaps (DDBs) may be faster to draw on the screen, but may be stored in memory in a device-specific format. Device-independent bitmaps (DIBs) are stored in memory in a standard format supported by all devices (including printers).
