Parameters in export function

Question

Hi,
I'd like to use the export function to have a bmp file with 300dpi and windows format.
It was found that the function have 3 parameters,
1st - filename to be saved
2nd - AiExportType (Flash,GIF,JPEG,Photoshop,PNG24,PNG8,SVG)
3rd - optional
Is there any idea for the 2nd and the 3rd parameters that needed in order to have a 300dpi and windows format bmp file export out?
Or, is the function not allow to export a bmp file? If so, any work around function to do so?
Please advise. Thank you.
Best Rgds,
HenryL

Might be possible with a mix of illustrator/photoshop scripting ... with something like this(didn't test it because of time considerations but should work):
var v_doc = app.activeDocument;
var v_psFileName = v_doc.path.fsName + "/export.psd";
exportFileToPSD(v_psFileName);
function exportFileToPSD (dest, doc) {
    if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
        var exportOptions = new ExportOptionsPhotoshop();
        var type = ExportType.PHOTOSHOP;
        var fileSpec = new File(dest);
        exportOptions.resolution = 300;
        app.activeDocument.exportFile( fileSpec, type, exportOptions );
photoshop.open(new File(v_psFileName));
var s_script = "var v_doc = app.activeDocument; var opt_bmpExport = new BMPSaveOptions(); opt_bmpExport.alphaChannels = true; opt_bmpExport.depth = BMPDepthType.TWENTYFOUR; opt_bmpExport.osType = OperatingSystem.WINDOWS; opt_bmpExport.rleCompression = true; v_doc.saveAs(new File(" + v_doc.path.fsName + "/exportasBMP.bmp), opt_bmpExport, true, Extension.NONE);";
photoshop.executeScript(s_script);
