Question: I am programming a DLL. I have to return an instance of TBitmap to the host application.
The DLL has another UNIT, wich is a Form, that it has a TImageList for storing images. I wrote a function that I want to return an Image from the TImageList (from the DLL to the host application. How can I do this?

Thanks,
Yulién.

Answer: 
Basically what you need to do is not return an object. In this case you want to return bitmap, why not just return HBitmap handle?
You can't return an object per se, but you can return a pointer to an object.
