Question : Convert 16bpp bitmap to 32bpp or to JPEG on Windows Mobile 5.0 onwards

I need to encode the screen capture on pda into either 32bpp bitmap or jpeg.

I've managed to make a conversion from 16bpp to jpeg with imaging interfaces, but since the colour depth is only 16bpp the resulting image it bad :)

So I reckon I either need to convert my initial 16bpp bitmap to 32bpp (and that bmp-to-jpeg code worked only with 32bpp) or please advise how to convert 16bpp-to-jpeg directly on WM50.

I could try to port and use IJG library (www,ijg.org), but before I do it, I thought maybe there is easier way.

Please advise! :)  I'm sure there is some existing code for 16bpp-to-32bpp bitmaps conversion, so I could try it first.

It is Win32 code, but you will see the code creating the DIB section with 32 bpp. I'm not sure if it will work for WM. The WM code I will send you from home in an hour.

For Windows Mobile you may need a bit different dibsection, but I'm not sure, maybe in WM6 everything's OK.
