Winapi function GetObject returns a BITMAP info structure containing:

bmType

Specifies the bitmap type. This member must be zero.

bmWidth

Specifies the width, in pixels, of the bitmap. The width must be greater 
than zero.

bmHeight

Specifies the height, in pixels, of the bitmap. The height must be 
greater than zero.

bmWidthBytes

Specifies the number of bytes in each scan line. This value must be 
divisible by 2, because Windows assumes that the bit values of a bitmap 
form an array that is word aligned.

bmPlanes

Specifies the count of color planes.

bmBitsPixel

Specifies the number of bits required to indicate the color of a pixel.

bmBits

Points to the location of the bit values for the bitmap. The bmBits 
member must be a long pointer to an array of character (1-byte) values.

I think I can fill the RawImageDesc fields except palette, and I don't 
know what to do with RedPrec, RedShift, etc..
