Parameters

$hBitmap Handle to a Bitmap to which the effect is applied.
$hEffect Handle to an Effect to be applied.
$iX [optional] The X coordinate of the upper left corner of the portion to which the effect is applied.
$iY [optional] The Y coordinate of the upper left corner of the portion to which the effect is applied.
$iW [optional] Specifies the width of the portion to which the effect is applied.
$iH [optional] Specifies the height of the portion to which the effect is applied.
