After initializing a DDF buffer with DdfInitialize, the example obtains a device context (DevOpenDC), creates a presentation space (GpiCreatePS), and loads a bit map (GpiLoadBitmap). It then uses DdfBitmap to place a reference to the bit map in the DDF buffer. For a more detailed example and discussion of initializing DDF, see the DdfInitialize sample.
