I am working on a project in C++, and I need advice on how tyo link a bitmap to a cpp file.  I am just starting out as a C++ programmer so please help me!

    One way is to create a resource script (*.rc) that is then compiled into a resource file (*.res). The latter is a binary file that is linked to an EXE or DLL file. It tells the program how to use such things as menus, dialog boxes, bitmaps, cursors, icons, and even program version info. You might have to look up in your help files for more information.

    Once you have created your resource script, you can compile it using BRCC32 which creates a *.res file. Then you can link this file to an EXE via RLINK32 (see also TLINK32 and BRC32).

If you use the C++ Builder you can import the Bitmap directly either by the IDE or dynamically during runtime
