This is what I use for drawing bitmaps and it works. Handle resH; BitmapPtr resP; FormPtr frm; int x; int y; frm = FrmGetActiveForm(); // get a handle to the resource resH = DmGetResource( bitmapRsc, FrontBodyBitmap); ErrFatalDisplayIf( !resH, "Missing bitmap" ); resP = MemHandleLock(resH); // draw the bitmap WinDrawBitmap (resP, x, y); // release the memory handle MemPtrUnlock(resP); DmReleaseResource( resH ); In my case, the bitmaps are not on the form, they are just in the resource file. Hope that helps.
