Bitmap as a resource

Hi I want to hide the bitmap that is used as a texture from the user. Here what I did I created a resource file in my project, then I inserted a bitmap. MSVC++ installed a blank bitmap with the name IDB_BITMAP1, I copied and pasted to that blank bitmap the bitmap I wanted.(I inserted resource.h to the project) This bitmap is supposed to be a texture as follows. D3DXCreateTextureFromFile( g_pd3dDevice,"banana.bmp",&g_pTexture ) Now how do I modify the code to get the texture from IDB_BITMAP1 instead of getting the texture from banana.bmp Best regards If love is illusion and hate is real, I would rather be crazy
