No.
I really know nothing about using jpegs, but I'd bet from what you
have said, that GetObject on a jpeg isn't going to return (just) a
BITMAP.

Something along the lines of

	ok = bitmap.GetObject( 0, NULL );
	if( ok )
	{
		char*buffer = new char[ok];
		bitmap.GetObject( ok, buffer );
	}
OTOH, reading up on CBitmap, I see that what you probably wanted to do
was
	ok = bitmap.GetObject( sizeof(BMP), &BMP );
and forget about using the NULL version.
Though it would be easier to use Bruce's suggestion, and do
	ok = bitmap.GetBitmap( & BMP );
