Display Bitmap in a Picture Box using MFC from a file

Another thing i want to ask is as you wrote to change the Cstatic type to CPicture, but i dont know how to do that? please tell me how to change the variable type from CStatic to CPicture?
Thanks,
Nishant

 

I will create the new post for my main query but just replying here for this problem, as you told me, i had change the data type of the variable to the CPictureBox, but it gave me so many errors, main of those is Storage value missing. what should i do?

 

Ya, i was missing that step, so when i did it, i had run it successfully.

Thanks,

hi there .. this tuto is intended for what version of vc++?? 6.0?? cus i don't have hte "ownerdrawn" option for the picture control..

 

and the include in picturebox.cpp

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "Wallpaper.h"
#include "PictureBox.h"
#include ".\picturebox.h"

-----------------------------------
#include "Wallpaper.h"
#include ".\picturebox.h"

where are these 2 headers found?

 

it's not generated... i am getting error that it is missing

 

when u say "Add a picture Box to your application"
is it the "picture" control??

the types available for are "frame","icon","bitmap","rectangle"Enhanced metafile"... still don't see "ownerdrawn"..... and where do i inlcude "picture.h" in my dialog class?

 

there's no "ownerdraw"... neither in styles nor extended styles too...




thanks for quick responses btw

i am glad i was helpful for your code correction

one question is there a way to load jpeg??

 

cool i am impatient and thaNKs again

 

how Display jpeg Picture in MFC dialog?

hi Shabbir!

In MFC application (Dialog based or Cform view), if i load bitmap image in the background, its taking more memory.. here is my coding..

Code:

void CDlg_Splash::OnPaint() 
{
	CPaintDC dc(this); // device context for painting
	
	HBITMAP m_Bmap;
	CRect rect;
	HDC memdc;
	
	CString m_ifilename1;
	
	m_ifilename1 = "C:\\test.bmp";
	
	GetClientRect(&rect);
	
	m_Bmap=(HBITMAP)::LoadImage(NULL,m_ifilename1,IMAGE_BITMAP,0,0,LR_LOADFROMFILE);
	memdc=::CreateCompatibleDC(dc.m_hDC);
	::SelectObject(memdc,m_Bmap);
	
	BitBlt(dc.m_hDC,0,0,rect.right,rect.bottom,memdc,0,0,SRCCOPY); 
	DeleteObject(m_Bmap);
	DeleteObject(memdc);
}

is it correct ? and also let me know is there any memory leakage?
is it possible to load jpeg image in MFC dialog? (to avoid more memory usage)

Thanks in Advance...
