Subject: Re: displaying singular bitmaps in several locations HELP!
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.
