Loading a Bitmap Dynamically in CStatic

[Sivaraman Dhamodaran]

Hi, I am having a property page ( Dialog resource) and it contains a Cstatic Instance. I need to load a bitmap on it dynamically and can anybody help me which of Override or Message should I handle to do it.. * The bitmap is in the Resource form IDB_ANYBMP * After Loading the Bitmap into the CBitmap Instance and calling the CStatic::SetBitmap Function. The above Algo is working once the dialog is displayed. But I need to display the bitmap before the dialog get displayed. Thanks in Advance

I think you could try overloading OnInitInstance() and doing the processing there. The code in OnInitInstance() gets called before the dialog is displayed (I think).

this is this.

Hi Thanks for the Reply. I used Initinstance and also tried with OnSetActive (WizardPage). But it is not working.

Rather than the CWinApp::OnInitInstance(), put it in your CDialog::OnInitDialog() handler and it should work for you.
