Bitmaps

[Rory]

I have a CDC and a resource bitmap. Is there any way to put the resource bitmap into the CDC:

eg.CDC aDC;

// aDC is attached to printer here

CBitmap aBitmap;
aBitmap.LoadBitmap(IDB_BITMAP);

// How can I insert the contents of aBitmap into aDC?

Is there way to do it this way, or in any other ways?

Thanks

.. just try:

CBitmap *oldBmp = aDC.SelectObject(&aBitmap)
... some code, don't forgett to use
aDC.SelectObject(oldBmp)

Thanks.
Is there a way that a I can use IDB_BITMAP as a background,
and load IDB_ABITMAP and IDB_ANOTHERBITMAP on top of it at some custom coordinates?

Thanks again

.. you can make another memDC, then selecting there the other bitmaps and then bitblt them to the memDc. Try something like

CDC otherMemDc;
otherMemDc.CreateCompatibleDC(&memdc)
CBitmap oldBmp2 = otherMemDc.SelectObject(otherBitmap);
memDc.bitblt(..... otherMemDc....);

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but the code doesn't seem to be working. I am trying to print a bitmap with text on top of it. This is the code I have so far:CDC PrinterDC;
CPrintDialog printDlg(FALSE | PD_ALLPAGES | PD_NOPAGENUMS | PD_HIDEPRINTTOFILE | PD_NOSELECTION);

if(printDlg.DoModal() == ID_CANCEL)
return;

PrinterDC.Attach(printDlg.GetPrinterDC());

// Code to put bitmap into PrinterDC
CBitmap aBitmap;
aBitmap.LoadBitmap(IDB_BITMAP);
PrinterDC.SelectObject(&aBitmap);

// Code to print PrinterDC goes here

After that code I put the PrinterDC.TextOut calls and then print.
When this is printed the text displayed by TextOut prints but the bitmap is not there.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot.

Sorry, since writing that last message I have discovered
that no graphics are printing. The TextOut()s are showing
but if I try MoveTo() followed by LineTo()s it doesn't
draw them either. Is there a way to switch the CDC into
graphics mode? Or is it a different problem?
