Background image from embedded resource

Hi,

I have a bitmap as an embedded resource. Now I want to use that bitmap for a
background image of a button. But if I do the following it doesn't work.

<snap start>
Dim s As System.IO.Strea m =
Me.GetType().As sembly.GetManif estResourceStre am("WindowsAppl ication1.Bitmap 1
..bmp")
Dim bmp as bitmap = New Bitmap(s)
s.Close()
Dim img As Image = bmp
Button1.Backgro undImage = bmp
<snap end>

What am I doing wrong?

TIA

I found the error: I must not close the stream and I have to do the
following:

Dim s as System.IO.Strea m =
Me.GetType().As sembly.GetManif estResourceStre am("WindowsAppl ication1.Bitmap 1
..bmp")
Button1.Backgro undImage = new Bitmap(s)

That's all.

I have a form which contains a picturebox control which displays a gif image. By default, the image that was selected when I designed the dialog gets stored in the resx file and gets compiled and displayed. How can I force the compiler to re-link to that gif file on the file system at compile time so that I don't need to re-assign the gif file every time a change is made to it? thanks!

Hi, I am looking for an example of how to extract bitmap images from an embedded resource file (a file with *.res extension, which can be viewed inside of the ide and can hold bitmaps, icons, string tables, etc.) and place them into a imagelist.

Hello, I have a Windows Application that needs to load multiple image files in response to users clicking buttons. Currently, I just have these images as .jpg files on disk, but I don't want to have to migrate the files everywhere that the executable is installed. Is there a way to add them to a Visual Studio solution/project so that they are embedded in the application somehow? If so, how do I access the images when needed? Thanks,...

I've got an image I want to embed in a dll to use on a screen later. I've got it in a resource file, got it to compile in to the dll. The problem is getting it back out.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
