Loading bitmap from resource dll

Asked by Snapples in Microsoft Visual C++.Net, C++ Programming Language, Microsoft Visual C++

Tags: Visual C++

I want to place all my bitmaps in a resource dll which I've already made and loaded into my program.
Now the problem is, I have an existing Bitmap class which can get a bitmap from a file or an embedded resource, now I want it to be able to get a bitmap from the resource dll but everything I've tried so far doesn't work.
Can anyone explain me how to do this?Start Free Trial

	m_Handle = LoadBitmap(Engine::GetSingleton()->GetInstance(), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDBitmap));
 
	if (m_Handle != 0) m_Exists = true;
