(Solved)LoadImage C++

[JohnOne]

Trying to use this API has been wrecking my head for hours.I can successfully use it to load a bmp from folder, but I'm trying to load a bmp from resource.All I get is error ERROR_RESOURCE_NAME_NOT_FOUND (1814)

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]){
char c = '1';
HBITMAP hbitmap = NULL;
hbitmap = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(GetModuleHandle(NULL), MAKEINTRESOURCE(1), IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_DEFAULTSIZE);
//hbitmap = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(GetModuleHandle(NULL), (LPWSTR)L"test.bmp", IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_DEFAULTSIZE);
if ( !hbitmap ) 
{std::cout << "Fail" << std::endl << GetLastError() << std::endl; // 1814}
else {
std::cout << "Succeed" << std::endl;
}
std::cin >> c;
return 0;
}

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong here?

EDIT:The resource bmp is in the same executable.

Did you check what that error means? It's not very descriptive, you should try googling.

What's with C style casting?

[JohnOne]

I just thought the error was not finding the resource in the exe, it was what popped up in a search.

All the casting is just things I have been trying during the course of getting the function to return

what I expect.

I've got bleeding eyes from reading the msdn page for the func, I just cannot get my head around it.

Solved

hbitmap = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(GetModuleHandle(NULL), MAKEINTRESOURCE(101), IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_DEFAULTSIZE);

I has no Idea a resource would start at 101.

I was just about to ask if you were sure your resource was really where you told the function to look....

Cheers, I should have posted my woes earlier.

And you didn't learn your lesson which is don't use magic numbers. There's a reason symbolic names are defined for resources.

[JohnOne]

I semi learnt it, I did define int IDB_BITMAP1 = 101;

But I'm unsure if it already defined in a header I should have, which I have not.

What IDE are you using?

[JohnOne]

Visual Studio 2010.

EDIT:

Ah, I finally found it.

resource1.h

[Valik]

Not sure why it's resource1.h, it should be resource.h. But yeah, that's the file.

[JohnOne]

That works too, and makes more sense, I found the #include "resource1.h"

in the "project.rc" file.
