[comp.windows.ms.programmer] HELP! With Bitmaps....

jdb@reef.cis.ufl.edu (Brian K. W. Hook) (03/19/91)

My program is giving me an exception error 13, 0 whenever I reach
WM_CREATE:

hBitmap[0]=LoadBitmap(hInst,"boom");

It dies right there!  WHY?!  ARGH!  Anyway, it works fine if I use the
following:

hBitmap[0]=LoadBitmap(NULL,"CONSTANT");
                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^----asstd. constants in SDK
                           
In other words, when I try to use my own bmps it dies flat out....I have

1.  Put .BMP files in the .RC file
2.  checked EVERYTHINg twice

Please, what am I missing here?

Oh, hInst is a static global variable of hInstance....
