Embed an image in an executable

[skywalker]

I don't have the code with me but I can remember enuf details.

It embeds an  image file into the .exe.

It used rc simplebitmap.rc or something like that.

I looked thru the masm examples and couldn't find one.

I think the .rc file contained a statement showing the path to the image file.

Thanks.

skywalker,

You can use Ernst Murphy's image library to display images from memory. Check the BmpFromMem example in the attachment.

This compiles with no errors, but it isn't displaying the picture.
I modified some old code which didn't have the .rc file, I probably
messed it up.

Thanks.

This is in bitmap.rc

#define IDB_MAIN 801

IDB_MYBMP BITMAP "jakob.bmp"

rc bitmap.rc
link /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /LIBPATH:c:\masm32\lib jakob.obj bitmap.res

If that's the MS linker, you'll need to use CVTRES first and link the object file.

Pelle's linker will accept .RES files.

I made a mistake in bitmap.rc.

A year ago I tried to get help with a jpeg embedded in the file but it didn't get real far.
Reckin not much incentive for MS to support non-BMP stuff. :-)
