I have a Question about loading a bitmap as a resource from within my app,instead of from disk. Its for a custom dialog box that starts up before the game,and lets the user choose the display mode etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------- background.lbHatch = (long) LoadImage(GetModuleHandle(NULL),"MyImage.bmp", IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE); ---------------------------------------------------------------- Is it possible to load the bitmap as a resource? instead of from a file on disk? something like how the icon is done below. ---------------------------------------------------------------- LoadIcon(GetModuleHandle(NULL),MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_MY_ICON));//standardicon ---------------------------------------------------------------- I couldn''t get it to do it. Any help would be great. Thanks.

got it now,thanks!

background.lbHatch = (long)LoadImage(GetModuleHandle(NULL), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_VideoOptions), IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0,
LR_DEFAULTCOLOR);

(HBITMAP),hInstance,instead of (long),(GetModuleHandle(NULL), gave me errors.

working fine now :-)
