    Question 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 !

    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.

    Question Then What's The Step To Import The Bitmap?

    Good day again !

    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 !
