Thread: DX9 Not Displaying Bitmaps

I am reading a book called "Begining Game Programming", and I got to the part where you start displaying bitmaps through the use of a game loop. It comes with a CD so I took the source code from their and put it into my compiler MSVC 7.1. It says to save it with a .c extension not a .cpp (I dont know if this matters). So I save it with a .c . I put the bitmap in my resource folder in the solution explorer, and then put the code in (pasted) When I run it, it comes up with the window, but no bitmaps. Anyone know why this is?

Code:

// Beginning Game Programming
// Chapter 4
// GameLoop project

#include <windows.h>
#include <winuser.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

#define APPTITLE "Game Loop"

//function prototypes
LRESULT CALLBACK WinProc(HWND,UINT,WPARAM,LPARAM);
ATOM MyRegisterClass(HINSTANCE);
BOOL InitInstance(HINSTANCE,int);
void DrawBitmap(HDC,char*,int,int);
void Game_Init();
void Game_Run();
void Game_End();


//local variables
HWND global_hwnd;
HDC global_hdc;


//the window event callback function
LRESULT CALLBACK WinProc(HWND hWnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
    global_hwnd = hWnd;
    global_hdc = GetDC(hWnd);

	switch (message) 
	{
		case WM_DESTROY:
            Game_End();
			PostQuitMessage(0);
			break;
    }
	return DefWindowProc(hWnd, message, wParam, lParam);
}

//helper function to set up the window properties
ATOM MyRegisterClass(HINSTANCE hInstance)
{
    //create the window class structure
    WNDCLASSEX wc;
    wc.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX); 

    //fill the struct with info
    wc.style         = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW;
    wc.lpfnWndProc   = (WNDPROC)WinProc;
    wc.cbClsExtra	 = 0;
    wc.cbWndExtra	 = 0;
    wc.hInstance     = hInstance;
    wc.hIcon         = NULL;
    wc.hCursor       = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
    wc.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(BLACK_BRUSH);
    wc.lpszMenuName  = NULL;
    wc.lpszClassName = APPTITLE;
    wc.hIconSm       = NULL;

    //set up the window with the class info
    return RegisterClassEx(&wc);

}

//helper function to create the window and refresh it
BOOL InitInstance(HINSTANCE hInstance, int nCmdShow)
{
    HWND hWnd;

    //create a new window
    hWnd = CreateWindow(
       APPTITLE,              //window class

       500,                   //width of the window

EDIT- LOL! I got it now, it was an incorrect path to the .bmp, i created one from inside the IDE and now it works. Peace.
