Bitmaps on dialog box

[Mark Evans]

I have a dialog box and on it I want to display a bitmap, which will
change at various times during the program. My problem is that the
bitmaps will not be the same each time. I want the user to put their
own bitmaps into a directory and the application will pick them off
and display them as required. The bitmaps will always be called the
same thing, ie 1.bmp, 2.bmp, 3.bmp - but they will be different
pictures. I am new to visual c++.net so any help is much appreciated.


Regards

Mark.

Hi Mark,

This Knowledge Base article may be helpful (it points to a sample that shows 4 ways to draw a bitmap on an MFC dialog):
