Loading a Bitmap

[somnath74]

Hi,
I have created a bitmap and trying to load it but on debugging I find that the LoadBitmap function is returning 0 i.e it is failing.What are the reasons because of which this might fail?

Thanks

Somnath

LoadBitmap has been deprecated, not that this is the reason for failure. But LoadBitmap assumes that your image is bound to the executable. I assume you have done this?

If the image is a file on disk use:

HBITMAP m_bmpIMG ;

m_mmpIMG = (HBITMAP) LoadImage(NULL, _T("images//my.bmp&quot, IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE | LR_DEFAULTCOLOR) ;

to load it.

You can then use the SetBitmap() member function of the control to set the bitmap.

Oops! Excuse the obvious typo in the above the line should be:

m_bmpIMG = (HBITMAP) ...
