The topic pretty much says it here. I have searched for hours for information on how to accomplish this and have turned up empty handed. This is getting EXTREMELY frustrating.

I am using DirectX10 to handle graphics. I am working towards not having to rely on external image files for graphics; i.e. all of the graphics image that I need is embedded in the program at runtime. I can create the *.rc file, and add bitmaps to it, but that's where I hit a dead stop.

The goal at this point is to be able to create a texture because once I am able to do that I should be "home free".

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
