How to have bitmaps in lib

[Jesper Knudsen]

I'm creating a library with som custom controls. How can I have a bitmap drawn on a custom button? When the button control is in a .lib - where to put the image? What about resource conflicts? Thanks for any comment

Put them in a DLL or ActiveX library, both types of libraries have there own resources. Their resources can not conflict with your resources, unless the DLL treats externaly supplied resource IDs the same as internaly supplied IDs. For buttons: http://www.codeproject.com/buttonctrl/[^] For libraries visit the COM or Libraries section of codeproject.

To make it simple, I made this small utility that converts a binary file into an array of unsigned chars for the compiler to read. This enables me to #include the binary chunk directly into the source. Wooh, does this smell like good old times..
