So just add a static control, with the
SS_BITMAPstyle, to your dialog's template.

But I suggest use of foreign dialog instead same dialog you insert a CDialog to your project and show preview on that dialog if you use of this way you have more control for example you can move this window without any work or change size of show image on the dialog or insert controls to this dialog for control picture,anyway if you want to use this way on the codeproject is more articles for example search for 3dmax,you can find an article in this article you can see behavior like 3dmax window);)

well sir, i did the same. but the static control does not display the bitmap image that i specify. However, is able to display the system icons (like Question mark Icon, or an Information Icon):confused:. i really dont know what mistake i am doing. :doh:

CStatic has a function
SetBitmap(that needs to hbitmap)but before it set Type of preperty window to Bitmap

One good way is David Crow answer other way is use of
WM_ERASEBKGNDfor show preview of image

And without seeing a relevant code snippet, neither do we.

still cant get it work. :( below is the sample code snippet that isnt working for me.
CStatic m_ImagstBox[5]; m_ImagstBox[i].Create(_T("BMP"),WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|SS_ICON|SS_CENTERIMAGE|SS_SUNKEN,CRect(l,50,r,100), this,1001+i); m_ImagstBox[i].SetIcon(::LoadIcon(NULL,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_BMP)));in the above code,IDI_BMPis the id of the icon that i want to display. but i dont know why it is not working. if i specify something likeIDI_INFORMATION, then it displays the information icon in the static control. i even tried theSetBitnapfunction, to display a bitmap instead of an icon. but could not get it work. below is the sample code that i had written.m_st[i].SetBitmap(::LoadBitmap(NULL,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_BITMAP_HOME)));i am new to MFC and i am sure that i am doing a mistake some where in the code. can u please point out where i am doing the mistake?vijay.

You have two ways create CStatic on your code or insert Static control of ToolBox;). But your problem check this code
m_ImagstBox[0].SetIcon(::LoadIcon**(AfxGetApp()->m_hInstance**,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_BMP)));
And same For
SetBitmap
