Displaying a PNG image

[grep]

Hi
Im looking for some info about displaying a PNG image in Window Mode in a Visual C program.

( I use MS-VC+ 6.0), I know GDI has some functions for loading a bitmap LoadBitmap for example, but dont know how to handle png images.

GDI has no intrinsic ability to handle png images. However, gdiplus does. Alternatively, use a third party library like libpng for windows or, if you're feeling particularly masochistic you could check out the png format at wotsit and do it all yourself.

[grep]

yeah I compiled libpng but Im not quite sure how to use it =]

Some people say that CXImage is good enough....

[grep]

Yeah, but its a c++ class, and as I mentioned on the beginning, My programm is written in Visual C,

[Joelito]

Then... I should go with libpng
