Displaying An Image
Hi, I am making a Win32 C++ Application and want to display an image in a child window. When I search it I have lots of results of how to do that for Visual C++ but I'm using Dev and want to know how to do with Dev. I also want to know how to display an Icon on a button. I know the code, I think I have to change the style of the button to BS_ICON or BS_BITMAP and then I must send a message to put the icon but it never works, any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Thank you.
If you use the raw API you can do it in either. Dev-C++/MinGW don't have MFC so you can't use it but for such simplistic stuff you really don't need to. You can use a static common control to display an image by sending it a STM_SETIMAGE message. You can also send a BM_SETIMAGE message to a button control. Just make sure that the HBITMAP/HICON handle you pass in is actually valid.
