Hi AirCon
I tried but with no success
the following line always returns 0(zero)

hBitmap = LoadImage(0, lc_Filename, 0, 0,0, 0x10)

i gave fulle image path (lc_Filename='c:\image1.jpg')
but still no luck
Thanks

Hi prajanikanth,

Sorry, I forgot to mentioned it only work for BMP file. Loading JPG file needs another technique.

I don't think a standard API can handle all image ext. Each image has it's own header structure that must be treated differently. (i.e. PNG, GIF, TGA and so on). I know JPG still can be load with OLE API, but I don't know about the others.

Maybe GDIPLUS already have this capability, but I haven't experiment with it so I'm not sure about that.
