Loading a .bmp and displaying into a dialog?

Right, can anyone help me. Im writting this little program, it will display a series of tiles onto a dialog box. Each tile is 32x32 in pixels. However, 1 problem struck me.... How do i display just 1 bmp into a dialog box?. Anyone know how?

Thankyou

He said ON A DIALOG. I don't know how, though. I use Visual Studio.

somewhere you have to have a memdc

Code:

---

CDC*      pActiveDC;
CDC        memdc;
CBitmap  bmp;

void MyClassDlg::LoadBmp()
{
        CDC* pdc = GetDC();
     
        memdc.CreateCompatibleDC( pdc );
        bmp.LoadBitmap( IDB_BITMAP1  );
        memdc.SelectObject( &bmp );
}

//** Windos paint message handler
void MyClassDlg::OnPaint()
{

      .......

      CDC* pdc = GetDC();

      BITMAP b;
      bmp.GetBitmap( &b );

   
pActiveDC = &memdc; //not needed but allows for selection from multiple memdcs available
     

      pdc->BitBlit( x, y, b.bmWidth, b.bmHeight, pActiveDC, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);

//where x, y are the coordinates on the dialog where the bitmap will be positioned

}

if you are not using the MFC you will need to use

HDC
BITMAP
and the GetDC(....)
CreateCompatibleDC(...)
LoadBitmap(....)

api calls

the concept is the same though...

to load from a file you will need the MAKEINTRESOURCE macro....
