# TCustomBitmap.HandleType

Handle type for the Bitmap.

## Declaration

Source position: graphics.pp line 1431

`public property TCustomBitmap.HandleType : TBitmapHandleType read GetHandleType write SetHandleType;`

## Description

HandleType is a TBitmapHandleType property which indicates the handle type used for the bitmap image data. HandleType identifies whether the bitmap handle is classified as a Device-Dependent Bitmap (DDB) or a Device-Independent Bitmap (DIB).

See TBitmapHandleType for more information about the handle types and their specifics.

The value for the property is read from the internal shared image in the class instance. Setting a new value for the property has no effect in the current implementation; the value is always read from the raw image data.
