thanx for the information.i tried those functions.they work fine for the
string resource.
but i created a bitmap resource
and i used those functions as follows:then the progran gets stuck as soon as
i call DmGetResource function and nothing is drawn on the screen.
VoidHand h;
BitmapPtr bPtr;
switch (eventP->eType)
{
case menuEvent:
return MainFormDoCommand(eventP->data.menu.itemID);
case frmOpenEvent:
frmP = FrmGetActiveForm();
MainFormInit( frmP);
FrmDrawForm ( frmP);
h = DmGetResource('PICT',1000);
/* here it is returning handle as h =0 and here the program
gets stuck */
bPtr = (BitmapPtr)MemHandleLock( h );
WinDrawBitmap(bPtr,1,50);
MemHandleUnlock( h );
DmReleaseResource( h );
handled = true;
break;
should we perform any other operation to put this bitmap on the form
dynamically.
