I'm attempting to use PNG resources. And it's not working:(

In creating the resource file I'm using
1000 CUSTOM MyImage.png

The resource is there but is not being loaded by LoadBitmapFromResource function.

Maybe it shouldn't be CUSTOM type. Does anybody know?

/edit
I see that if I convert image to a 32bpp bitmap image and add resource as:
1000 BITMAP MyImage.bmp
then everything works ok.

Can ImageManager allow load png from resource. I think if could specify resource type in LoadBitmapFromResource then should be pretty straightforward.

Thanks Oleg,

I had no idea PNG was a valid resource type (I just use notepad and rc.exe to build).
