Static controls

[electronicman_x]

I'm trying to display a bitmap in a Dialog and I've created a static control named IDC_PICTURE. I added this through the resource editor and placed it in my dialog and associated a picture. The picture shows up fine when i run my program. What i want to do is change the picture during the program to a different bitmap. I added the second bitmap to the resource list (right under the first one) and I'm trying to figure out how I can get control over which bitmap is displayed. Usually, I work with simple edit boxes and I do the following to gain control over them. CWnd * pWnd = GetDlgItem(IDC_BYTE0);//where IDC_BYTE0 is an edit control pWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW); // i use this to control it, in this case to make it show instead of hidden. I want to do this: CStatic *pPic = GetDlgItem(IDC_PICTURE);//where IDC_PICTURE is the static control of type picture so i can do this pPic->SetBitmap(IDB_BITMAP2) //where IDB_BITMAP is the first one and IDB_BITMAP2 is the second picture This code doesn't compile because GetDlgItem returns a CWnd type pointer.. but how do i get the pointer I need to use the CStatic functions? Thanks Jeff Rothenberg Project Engineer Vector CANtech, Inc.

CStatic* pWnd = static_cast< CStatic* >( GetDlgItem( IDC_BYTE0 ) );

Just cast it to CStatic:

CStatic *pPic = (CStatic*)GetDlgItem(IDC_PICTURE);
