Do you know how to create a bitmap and add it to your project in PilRC or
Codewarrior? After this is done, you can access the bitmap in your project
with the following code:
MemHandle memH;
BitmapPtr bmpP;
memH = DmGetResource('Tbmp', picBitmap);
bmpP = (BitmapPtr) MemHandleLock(memH);
WinDrawBitmap(bmpP, 0, 0);
MemHandleUnlock(memH);
DmReleaseResource(memH);
where picBitmap is the ID of your bitmap. The bitmap pointer is only valid
when the resource handle is locked, so keep this in mind.
If you want to change the bitmap, just use the ID of the bitmap you want to
draw. This is an easy way to implement what you want to do.
