InteropBitmap to BitmapImage
- by Tony
Hi,
I'm trying to Convert a Bitmap (SystemIcons.Question) to a BitmapImage so I can use it in a WPF Image control.
I have the following method to convert it to a BitmapSource, but it returns an InteropBitmapImage, now the problem is how to convert it to a BitmapImage. A direct cast does not seem to work.
Does anybody know how to do it?
CODE:
public BitmapSource ConvertToBitmapSource()
{
int width = SystemIcons.Question.Width;
int height = SystemIcons.Question.Height;
object a = System.Windows.Interop.Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromHBitmap(SystemIcons.Question.ToBitmap().GetHbitmap(), IntPtr.Zero, System.Windows.Int32Rect.Empty, BitmapSizeOptions.FromWidthAndHeight(width, height));
return (BitmapSource)a;
}
property to return BitmapImage: (Bound to my Image Control)
public BitmapImage QuestionIcon
{
get
{
return (BitmapImage)ConvertToBitmapSource();
}
}
