How to Load Bitmap

Hi
i am giving u the sample code to load a bitmap from .bmp file and display it in a CView derived view class.u can put this code in OnDraw() function for test.

//load the bitmap directly from file
HBITMAP hBitmap = (HBITMAP) ::LoadImage(AfxGetInstanceHandle(),
"C:\\winnt\\winnt.bmp",IMAGE_BITMAP,0,0,LR_LOADFROMFILE);

//attach it to a CBitmap object
CBitmap bmp;
if(hBitmap)
{
bmp.Attach(hBitmap);
}
//get the bitmap header info
BITMAP bm;
bmp.GetBitmap(&bm);

//create a temporary memory DC
CDC mdc;
mdc.CreateCompatibleDC(pDC);
mdc.SelectObject(&bmp);

//Use CDC::BitBlt() or StretchBlt(); here i have used BitBlt() here
pDC->BitBlt(0,0,bm.bmWidth,bm.bmHeight,&mdc,0,0,SRCCOPY);
//delete the temp DC when finished
mdc.DeleteDC();
