error C2440: initialization: it's impossible to convert "void" into "RGBTRIPLE."

[carriann]

It was a mistake to remembrance under C. Here's the line that the compilation error indicates:

RGBTRIPLE* StringPixels = malloc((abs(biCopy.biWidth) * sizeof(RGBTRIPLE)));

RGBTRIPLE This is a piccell structure:

typedef struct
{
    BYTE rgbtBlue;
    BYTE rgbtGreen;
    BYTE rgbtRed;
} RGBTRIPLE;

If anyone doesn't understand, I can throw a full code. The code itself is compiling on VS 2012.

malloc Repeat the type-indicator void * For subsequent use, it must be clearly identified as appropriate, for example:

RGBTRIPLE* StringPixels = (RGBTRIPLE*) malloc((abs(biCopy.biWidth) * sizeof(RGBTRIPLE)));
