What is the Ada type of Bitmap?

from GetObject:

hObject   ...
nCount    int  Secifies the number of bytes to be copied
                to the buffer
lpObject  ...

What do you want to copy?
The bitmap related structures in the Window API provide
information to compute the size of the bitmap in bytes
IIRC.
