ressources in a MFC-Extension-DLL

[SebastianStricker]

Hello,

I just wanted to make an MFC-extension DLL out of some source code that was included in a common SDI-project. I put the files to the new DLL-project an exported the classes via AFX_EXT_CLASS (don't know if this is the best solution but it works).
I also added the old ressources (some bitmaps) to the new DLL project, but they aren't loaded correctly. I used this to load the ressource called "IDB_RESIZE":

m_hResizeBitmap = ::LoadImage(AfxGetApp()->m_hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_RESIZE), IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_DEFAULTCOLOR|LR_LOADTRANSPARENT);

I guess I need another call to get the correct instance handle since I'm now in a DLL-project(?). Can anyone help me?

Thanks, Sebastian.

You need the instance of your DLL, not the application, since that is where the resources are. Not sure if this will work, but maybe:
LoadImage(GetModuleHandle(NULL), ...);
