HOWTO: Load a bitmap from a resource

Alejandro Lapeyre

I am using a ImageList with a bitmap that contains all the images.

I am currently saving the bitmap in a PictureBox, and load into the
ImageList when the form loads.

How can I save the bitmap into a Resource and load it from there later?

Thanks.

Hi,

Here is an example. I added the water lilies.jpg to my app and set
its
build action to embedded resource.
Dim bm As Bitmap

Dim myAsm As System.Reflecti on.Assembly =
System.Reflecti on.Assembly.Get ExecutingAssemb ly()

bm = New Bitmap(myAsm.Ge tManifestResour ceStream(Me.Get Type, "Water
lilies.jpg"))

Does anyone know of a bitmap/resource/image collection for a Spanish card deck?

Hi. My site has a splash screen which, to look its best, really depends on the synchronization between animation and sounds.

load bitmap from resource

by: dotnetchic | last post by:

(Sorry about cross-post to MFC...got no reply so I'm reposting here) Porting my code over from VC++6 to MC++, loading bitmaps from resources broke. This code is in a lib file (previously, it was a dll)...don't know how that affects it. Here's what we had previously that worked: AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState()); HINSTANCE hInst = GetModuleHandle("ThisLibrary.dll"); HBITMAP hBitmap = ::LoadBitmap(hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(ID));

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

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,...
