STM_SETIMAGE Trouble!(PLEASE HELP!!)

Hello. I am working on a BMP viewer and I want it to load a BMP onto a static and set the static control to have the same dimensions as the image. Here's some code:


case IDC_VIEW:
GetWindowText (GetDlgItem(hwnd, IDC_FILE), path, MAX_PATH);

bmpname = (HBITMAP) LoadBitmap (0, path);

GetObject (bmpname, sizeof(bmpinfo), &bmpinfo);

x = bmpinfo.bmWidth;
y = bmpinfo.bmHeight;

bmpname = (HBITMAP) LoadBitmap (0, path);

sX = x;
sY = y;

SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hwnd, IDC_BMP), STM_SETIMAGE, (WPARAM)IMAGE_BITMAP, (LPARAM)bmpname);
break;


All of the variables are already declared. The only problem is that it won't display the image on the static control. Can you help me?

You should test the return values from functions. This will give you an idea where your code is failing. I've not tried using STM_SETIMAGE, but there's a couple of things that may need changing.

You should replace LoadBitmap() with LoadImage(). Something like -

bmpname = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(NULL, path, IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE);

Is your static control created with the SS_BITMAP flag?

If neither of these help, try working out which function is failing.

I did this:


GetWindowText (GetDlgItem(hwnd, IDC_FILE), path, MAX_PATH);

bmpname = (HBITMAP) LoadImage (0, path, x, y, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE);

if(!bmpname)
{
MessageBox(0, "Error creating BMP!", "Error", 0);
}

GetObject (bmpname, sizeof(bmpinfo), &bmpinfo);

x = bmpinfo.bmWidth;
y = bmpinfo.bmHeight;

sX = x;
sY = y;

SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hwnd, IDC_BMP), STM_SETIMAGE, (WPARAM)IMAGE_BITMAP, (LPARAM)bmpname);


And it can't create the BMP again. How do I reset the HBITMAP?


NEVERMIND! I got it! I had to erase the BMP off of the static control first!
