First of all, I don't know anything about Constructor and CodeWarrior
(I use PilRC and prc-tools). But I have created a couple of apps that
show and hide bitmaps, and I've never had to use FrmNewBitmap. I simply
create the bitmap family, give a resource ID, and specify that bitmap
ID as a form bitmap on whatever form. I would imagine that Constructor
lets you statically place a bitmap at an arbitrary position on a form.
