RGB rgbGreen = RGB(0, 255, 0);<br />
// since RGB is defined as a DWORD, a cast is required<br />
long lColor = (long) rgbGreen;

1. Read the Jpeg to a RGB buffer.
   
2. Swap RGB -> BGR.
   
3. DWORD align.
   
4. Vertically flip.
   
5. CreateDIBSection.
   
6. memcpy the flipped buffer to the DIB section.
   
7. ::StretchBlt().
