Good walk through! Code looks a lot like mine (only the loop idea is better than the
one I use ... :-)
... anyway, a few additions:
1) Don't forget to turn RLE compression on for the bitmaps in the family. I've
seldon seen any bitmaps for which compression is
not a gain... at least in my code.
2) Bitmap buttons are available in OS 3.5 only
3) Form bitmaps don't seem to work well either outside of 3.5, but WinDrawBitmap(sp?)
does ...
