SOLVED - Loading a graphic from a resource file

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I want to load pgn's from a .rc file to use on the toolbar buttons of a ribbon.  If I have a resource of: 

      ID_FILE_EXIT     PNG     Exit.png

in my .rc file (compiled to Legacy.res)  how do I load it?  (I am using VB6)

Normally I use LoadResPicture(ID_FILE_EXIT, vbResBitmap).

In the ribbon control I assume I should use .LoadBitmapFromResource but I can't figure out what the first couple parameters should be.

Can anyone tell me what I should use?

	Hi, Yes, LoadBitmapFromResource will work. Use App.Instance as parameter. But problem of such method that only compiled exe will have this resource - you won't see bitmap inside IDE. so guess its easy use ImageManager to load png in designtime.
