Convert BITMAPINFO header into unsigned char pointer

Hey there,

I have a bitmap header information in the struct

typedef struct tagBITMAPINFO {
BITMAPINFOHEADER bmiHeader;
RGBQUAD bmiColors[1];
} BITMAPINFO

The total size of this is 1080.

Now i want to convert this into a unsigned char pointer.

unsigned char * pBMPHeaderData;

I already got the raw image data in another unsigned char buffer.

unsigned char* pRawBMPData;

Now i want to make a complete BMP image by adding the header info and raw data into a new unsigned char pointer. For this i need to convert the BITMAPINFO struct into a unsigned char *

So the new buffer will be,

unsigned char * pCompleteBMPIMageData = pBMPHeaderData + pRawBMPData;

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Thanks in advance.
