Loading an image from a library...error 127 (The specified procedure could not be found.)

Aright, I'm trying to load a bitmap from a file (C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Luna.theme). Unfortunately, I'm receiving an error of 127...any ideas?

Oh yeah, and once I have a handle to the bitmap, can I use Bitmap.fromresource (something like that) to grab it?

Many thanks,
Ryan

Last error 127 is "The specified procedure could not be found". Error Lookup program which comes with Visual Studio translates error code to error message.

When you use API which has string parameters (like LoadImage), always read comments in the end of API description.

Requirements:
...
Unicode: Implemented as Unicode and ANSI versions on Windows NT/2000.

This means, LoadImage API doesnt' exist in the library. Instead of this, there are two API: LoadImageA (which works with ansi strings) and LoadImageW (which works with UNICODE strings). It's always better to work with UNICODE version:

[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError=true)]
public static extern IntPtr LoadImageW(IntPtr hinst, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] string lpszName, uint uType, int cxDesired, int cyDesired, uint fuLoad);

And this would explain those alias remarks...

Now I get an double extra happy error: 1814 The specified resource name cannot be found in the image file. ERROR_RESOURCE_NAME_NOT_FOUND.

Resource Luna = new Resource("C:\\WINDOWS\\Resources\\Themes\\Luna\\luna.msstyles");

Using enumresnames, I can see BLUE_STARTBUTTON_BMP...any thoughts on this>?
I need to check this.
There is VB6 program which does exactly what you need:

Try to read it, it contains all required code.
