I have a Bitmap image that i want to load dynamically. But I am unable to load it.
CBitmap bmp;
bmp.LoadBitmap("c:\aeimg");
it does not seem to be working. Can someone please help me.
Thanks.

A:
To load a bitmap from a file, you want to use LoadImage with the LR_LOADFROMFILE flag.

You can also try something like this:
CImage image;
image.Load(_T("C:\\image.png"));
CBitmap bitmap;
bitmap.Attach(image.Detach());

CImage doesn't work with png last time I tried / checked. Have a look at CxImage - http://www.codeproject.com/KB/graphics/cximage.aspx .

It supports bmp, jpg, gif and png. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d06f3fhw(VS.80).aspx

I had to look it up, and you're correct as far as loading from a file goes. My recollection came from it being impossible to load pngs from the resources, as CImage::LoadFromResource() uses ::LoadImage() while Load() uses GDI+.

A:
It could be as simple as you forgetting to escape the backslash. Instead of
bmp.LoadBitmap("c:\aeimg");
use
bmp.LoadBitmap("c:\\aeimg");
Otherwise you're passing an invalid path to the LoadBitmap method.

A:
According to CBitmap documentation ,
LoadBitmap() function takes resource identifier of the bitmap or resource id of the bitmap.
You can't specify the path of the bitmap file.
E.g.
MyProject.rc
-------------
MYBMP BITMAP "res\myimage.bmp"
and make sure that resource.h does not have any entry of MYBMP otherwise during preprocessing its replaced by id and ultimately LoadBitmap() will fail since application can't locate the resource as FindResource() fails.
Now do this :
CBitmap bmp;
bmp.LoadBitmap(L"MYBMP");
it will definately load the bitmap..............
