Bitmaps Not Displaying

[DCII764II00]

Hello All ^^
Well I think I got used to resources, but.. I have a few problems left..

Creating a resource for a bitmap image.. I would go through all the proper procedures for loading the bitmap. The program compiles with no errors, and yet.. The image fails to show up.. I am not sure why this occurs.. I will submit my source code and hopefully someone can aid me..

Thank-You

Farewell~

I copied your code directly in to a temporary project and tested it out. I don't have the bmp that you're trying to use, so I drew up one really quick and compiled it. The image appeared to be drawing fine.

One thing you might want to make sure of though, is that you included the .rc file in to your project. It will still compile fine without it, but if it's not included, the image will not show up. So if you're in visual C++, just right click on the workspace tree thing and click "Add Files to Project". Then select the .rc file that you should have in the project folder and include it. Your image should hopefully then show up (assuming you haven't already done this)

If you're not in visual studio, you should still have a .rc file somewhere, just add it to your project and recompile.
