Question

I’m having a problem to add a bitmap image to a static control box, i got an unhandled exception when i run my program. Here’s my code.

FROM RC FILE :

ID_ICON1    BITMAP  "icon1.bmp"

CPP FILE :

HANDLE bIcon1;
HWND hIcon;             
hIcon = CreateWindowEx(0, "Static", NULL, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE|SS_BITMAP, 250, 100, 100, 100, hwnd, NULL, GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL);
bIcon1 = LoadImage(GetModuleHandle(NULL), MAKEINTRESOURCE(ID_ICON1), IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE| LR_DEFAULTSIZE);

If i use full path i get no error and the bmp shows correctly :

bIcon1 = LoadImage(GetModuleHandle(NULL), "c:\\icon1.bmp", IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE| LR_DEFAULTSIZE);

Thanks for helping 🙂

edit:
the line of the exception is this one:

bIcon1 = LoadImage(GetModuleHandle(NULL), MAKEINTRESOURCE(ID_ICON1), IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE| LR_DEFAULTSIZE);

the message exception is :
Unhandled exception at 0x7768e41b in windows2.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x000001f4.

Answer 1

You are passing LR_LOADFROMFILE but the second parameter is not a file name. Delete that flag.
