for some reason my pictures won''t load. i use the statement: hbm = (HBITMAP) LoadImage(GetModuleHandle(NULL), szBitmap, IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_CREATEDIBSECTION); to load the bmp file but it always comes back NULL.

Have you tried using the full path and file name for the szBitmap parameter?

yeah. but i have an idea, that might fix the problem. i think that statement might be incomplete.

You should use flag LR_LOADFROMFILE instead of LR_CREATEDIBSECTION

I hope this help you!

gnolo

thanks. that was the problem.
