(i added in my code too....) (the resource file is just this....)

Code:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//	Icons
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
IDI_ICON ICON DISCARDABLE "F:\\TankT_v2\\Tank2.ico"

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//	Images
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
IDI_BANNER	BITMAP	DISCARDABLE	"F:\\TankT_v2\\banner.bmp"

1) The WM_CREATE message is processed during the CreateWindowEx call. You store the module handle in hInc after that call, thus hInc is 0 when you call LoadBitmap. Add the line

Code:

	hInc = hInstance;

just before the CreateWindow call.

2) Ressource identifier are integers or strings. If you want integers, add

Code:

#include "tankt_header.h"

on top of your RC file. If you want strings, replace MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_BANNER) by "IDI_BANNER"
