bitmap problem
Can anybody compile the below and help me fix the error. I've being trying to get bitmaps to work for ages. If you can't does anybody know of a Bitmap tutorial for Dev C++ users. Thanks
Code:
#include <windows.h>
HINSTANCE hInst;
LRESULT CALLBACK WindProcedure(HWND hWnd, UINT Msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);
INT WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
WNDCLASSEX WndCls;
static char szAppName[] = "BitmapIntro";
MSG Msg;
hInst = hInstance;
WndCls.cbSize = sizeof(WndCls);
WndCls.style = CS_OWNDC | CS_VREDRAW | CS_HREDRAW;
WndCls.lpfnWndProc = WindProcedure;
WndCls.cbClsExtra = 0;
WndCls.cbWndExtra = 0;
WndCls.hInstance = hInst;
WndCls.hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
WndCls.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
WndCls.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(WHITE_BRUSH);
WndCls.lpszMenuName = NULL;
WndCls.lpszClassName = szAppName;
WndCls.hIconSm = LoadIcon(hInstance, IDI_APPLICATION);
RegisterClassEx(&WndCls);
CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
szAppName,
"Bitmaps Fundamentals",
WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW | WS_VISIBLE,
CW_USEDEFAULT,
CW_USEDEFAULT,
CW_USEDEFAULT,
CW_USEDEFAULT,
NULL,
NULL,
hInstance,
NULL);
while( GetMessage(&Msg, NULL, 0, 0) )
{
TranslateMessage(&Msg);
DispatchMessage( &Msg);
}
return static_cast<int>(Msg.wParam);
}
LRESULT CALLBACK WindProcedure(HWND hWnd, UINT Msg,
WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
HDC hDC, MemDCExercising;
PAINTSTRUCT Ps;
HBITMAP bmpExercising;
switch(Msg)
{
case WM_DESTROY:
PostQuitMessage(WM_QUIT);
break;
case WM_PAINT:
hDC = BeginPaint(hWnd, &Ps);
// Load the bitmap from the resource
bmpExercising = LoadBitmap(hInst, "E:/Alex's Stuiff/Programming/win32/exercising.bmp"));
// Create a memory device compatible with the above DC variable
MemDCExercising = CreateCompatibleDC(hDC);
// Select the new bitmap
SelectObject(MemDCExercising, bmpExercising);
// Copy the bits from the memory DC into the current dc
BitBlt(hDC, 10, 10, 450, 400, MemDCExercising, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);
// Restore the old bitmap
DeleteDC(MemDCExercising);
DeleteObject(bmpExercising);
EndPaint(hWnd, &Ps);
break;
default:
return DefWindowProc(hWnd, Msg, wParam, lParam);
}
return 0;
}

Code:
// Load the bitmap from the resource
bmpExercising = LoadBitmap(hInst, "E:/Alex's Stuiff/Programming/win32/exercising.bmp"));
Although the comment says you're loading the bitmap from a resource, what you're actually doing is loading the bitmap from a file.
If you wish to load the bitmap from a file, use LoadImage.
Code:
hBitmap = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(NULL,filename,IMAGE_BITMAP,0,0,LR_LOADFROMFILE) ;
-
when i type in the path to the image it contins "e:\alex's stuff..." and the compiler says \a is unknown. How do i get around this

> "e:\alex's stuff..."
Since \ begins an escape character you need to either use \\ or / in strings.
