Adding Pictures

[Grimes]

Hello everybody I would appreciate it if I can get help adding a picture into my program. I'm using visual c++ 6. This must really be simple, I just need the picture on my main dialog, but the program should be able to run without having the bitmap with it. thanx...

You can import bmp file to resource and use of CBitmap::LoadBitmap for load use of WM_PAINT or WM_ERASEBKGNDfor draw it,but my suggestion is you reading your file from disk instead import it to your project because it increase size of your exe:)

Right click on resource window and select Add Resource and click import button and select your file and click open button now this file insert to resources now you can use from this code in your program CBitmap p; p.LoadBitmap(IDB_BITMAP1); and then on WM_PAINT try to draw it Resource Window->Add Resource->Import->Select File->click open -------------------- But if you have a picture on clipboard and you want to insert it to resource you can create a bitmap on resource and if Color file is True Color then select True Color on resource and then use of Shift+Insert now this picture paste on resource :)
