How To Import A Bitmap Picture Correctly Using Visual C++ 6 ?

Good day !

I wish to import a bitmap picture (1024 x 768 x 32 bit high color).

How can I do that ?

I was told that I can import it as resource, right ?

I tried to open the bitmap file in VC++ , copy it and paste it. In the icon editor, the picture looks normal but when I execute and run the application, the picture seems very weird and it just in 16 colors. I wonder what had happen ?

What should I do to correct this problem?

Thanks a lot ! :confused:

You can't edit resources with more than 256 colours in VC++. Import the resource, rather than copying and pasting, and edit it with another bitmap editor.

Good day again ! :D

What's the step to import the bitmap image ?

I try to create a bitmap instance and then import it a bitmap.

A File Window is opened and I can't select a bitmap file.

I just let me import the icon file only.

If I view all the file and forceit to import, it will open the picture editor of VC++ also.

Help !
