What class/control is used when you place a Picture in a MSVC++ dialog template?

Question

I've not been able to find this out, which seems weird. When I add a class variable for the control using the wizard, it wants to add a CButton. Is there a specific control or does one of the basic ones provide this function?

Answer 1

If you want to display an icon or a bitmap in your dialog, you usually want to use a CStatic control. A CStatic can either display an HICON or an HBITMAP, see CStatic::SetBitmap and CStatic::SetIcon. It's also possible to directly choose an icon or image resource for the control in the dialog editor.
