Re: Display Bitmap in a Picture Box using MFC from a file
 

Shabbir,
I'm new to code in VC++. Please verify my code according to your suggestion.

1.Add a picture Box to your application

Is it ok?
CPictureBox pic;

How can I do the following?

3. Add a variable to the picture box. By default it will be CStatic. I call it picPreview
4. Change the CStatic to CPictureBox. Don't forget to add the header files at the top.

Please Help!!

If you are using the MFC Wizard you will need to use the Class wizard to add the variable or else you should be adding the variable in dialog class and the DDX of the control into the message maps and then you are done.

Now when you have the variable in the header file you will need to change it type from CStatic to CPictureBox.
