Is there any easy way of inserting a bitmap in my About Box.
There exists code and discussion on declaring a bitmap to
be the background of a dialog box, but I am just looking for
a way to insert my bitmap into a dialog box.
I have vc++ 6.0. Any response any one can give me will be
greatly appreciated. Details are beloved!
Make a picture box on the dialog right click on it and on properties tab select bitmap from the combo
I think that should do it
When I insert a new dialog box, I get a toolbar with a variety
of things that I can insert into my dialog box, such as an edit
box, static text and a picture option. When I insert a picture
box into my dialog box, I get a small square frame. If I right
click on that frame and then on the properties tab, I get options
"general", "style", "more styles" and "extended styles" but nothing
which lets me include a bitmap file into my dialog box.
I remain perplexed as to how to insert a bitmap into a
dialog box. Please, any response any one can give me will be
greatly appreciated.
In the dialog section of this site there are two articles describing
file open dialogs with image preview. You could probably adapt
one of those to meet your needs. The articles should explain the
techniques involved. I took one and adapted it to work as a wallpaper
selector for myself and it worked pretty well. Check the comments
in the articles because there are sometimes little 'gotchas' in there.
