Thread: Bitmap Problem

Sorrie Guys for posting 2 msg in a day. I have a problem with loading bitmaps, been testing for 2 days but can't get the bitmap to show. I apologise for posting the whole code but i just don't understand why the bitmap doesn't load.

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include "Bitmap.h"

HINSTANCE hinst;
LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProcedure (HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM);

char szClassName[ ] = "Skeleton";

int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hThisInstance,
                    HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                    LPSTR lpszArgument,
                    int nFunsterStil)
{
    HWND hwnd;
    MSG messages;
    WNDCLASSEX wincl;
    wincl.hInstance = hThisInstance;
    wincl.lpszClassName = szClassName;
    wincl.lpfnWndProc = WindowProcedure;
    wincl.style = CS_OWNDC | CS_VREDRAW | CS_HREDRAW;
    wincl.cbSize = sizeof (WNDCLASSEX);
    wincl.hIcon = LoadIcon (NULL, IDI_HAND);
    wincl.hIconSm = LoadIcon (NULL, IDI_WARNING);
    wincl.hCursor = LoadCursor (NULL, IDC_ARROW);
    wincl.lpszMenuName = NULL;
    wincl.cbClsExtra = 0;
    wincl.cbWndExtra = 0;
    wincl.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) (COLOR_WINDOW+1);
    
    if (!RegisterClassEx (&wincl))
        return 0;

    hwnd = CreateWindowEx (
           0,
           szClassName,
           "Skeleton",
           WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW | WS_VISIBLE,
           CW_USEDEFAULT,
           CW_USEDEFAULT,
           CW_USEDEFAULT,
           CW_USEDEFAULT,
           NULL,
           NULL,
           hThisInstance,
           NULL
           );

    while (GetMessage (&messages, NULL, 0, 0))
    {
        TranslateMessage(&messages);
        DispatchMessage(&messages);
    }
    return messages.wParam;
}

LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProcedure (HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
	HDC hdc,hdcold;
	HBITMAP Skull;
	PAINTSTRUCT ps;
    switch (message)
    {
        case WM_DESTROY:     
            PostQuitMessage (0);
            break;
		case WM_PAINT:
			hdc = BeginPaint(hwnd, &ps);
			Skull = LoadBitmap(hinst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_BITMAP1));
			hdcold = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc);
			SelectObject(hdc, Skull);
	 		BitBlt(hdc, 10, 10, 450, 400, hdcold, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);
	        DeleteDC(hdcold);
	        DeleteObject(Skull);
			EndPaint(hwnd, &ps);
			break;
        default:
            return DefWindowProc (hwnd, message, wParam, lParam);
    }

    return 0;
}

Code:

#define IDB_BITMAP1                     101

I can't post the picture but i loaded it into the resource and visual c++ generated that .h file for me so im sure im right in that part. The window loaded but no bitmaps, im frustrated, please help me get past this stage.

anonytmous, THANZ ! now it works !
