Failed to Load Bitmap

[osal]

Im working on a Win32 program in C, and this function below worked on another program, but it wont work on mine and it just goes down to the error message. Heres the function

hSplashBMP = LoadBitmap(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE("STP_LOGO_NEW.BMP"));

if (!hSplashBMP)
{
MessageBox(NULL, "Failed To Load Bitmap", "Error", MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR);
return 0;
}


I used the debugger, and it states that hSplashBMP cannot be evaluated. I dont understand why that is. STP_LOGO_NEW.BMP is in the same directory as the program, and i tried putting the entire path, but I got the same thing. anyways, i hope someone can help.

Thanks

Post in windows forum next time and remove MAKEINTRESOURCE. That's only for turning an integer resource id into a LPTSTR.

Also, use GetLastError() if you want gleem any information as to why a Win32 function fails.

I will do that next time. Thanks for replying, however, it still gave me the same response.

And GetLastError() returned................

I know this doesn't help your problem, but LoadBitmap is deprecated. You should use LoadImage instead.
