GetDlgItem(...) returns a CWnd*. You are trying to cast it to a bitmap. This is wrong. You should do it like this...

CBitmap bmp;
bmp.LoadBitmap(IDB_BITMAP1);
CStatic *pStatic = (CStatic*)GetDlgItem(IDC_STATIC1);
pStatic->SetBitmap(bmp);

U can directly load on picture control by changing the control properties Right click on picture control and change type to bitmap and select bitmap id in Image. :cool:

Set the type of button as bitmap and perform the following : (here m_bit is an object of CBitmap , m_btnStart is the variable for CBitmapButton) m_bit1.LoadBitmap(IDB_BMPSTART); HBITMAP hBit1 = (HBITMAP) m_bit1.GetSafeHandle(); m_btnStart.SetBitmap(hBit1); // Use m_btnStart.SizeToContent() if you want to set the size of the button to that of the image being displayed on it (open the resource editor and copy the .gif image to the bitmap image in the resource editor) *******and yes on the picture control you have to set the type as bitmap and pass the image name of the bitmap in the IMAGE option of resource editor Vision is Always important and so is your ATTITUDE.

it is static Bankey Khandelwal Software Engineer

Your static control must have the style SS_BITMAP(for bitmap) or SS_ICON(for icon).
