Hello,
first import the bitmap to your resource, if vc++ say to you "the bitmap have more that 256 color" it's ok, don't worry about, you can't see it within vc++ image editor, but it works.
After, add a simple "picture" control to your dialog, and select the bitmap through its properties, the bitmap will draw within the control.

Bye

Aha - I thought she meant how to load a bitmap file while a program
was running and display it.

Maybe this can help?

HBITMAP m_hbmpBkgnd;

m_hbmpBkgnd = (HBITMAP) LoadImage( NULL, m_strPathBackground, IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_CREATEDIBSECTION | LR_DEFAULTSIZE | LR_LOADFROMFILE );

{
CDC dcMemory;
dcMemory.CreateCompatibleDC( &dc );


CBitmap* pbmp = CBitmap::FromHandle( m_hbmpBkgnd );

BITMAP bmpInfo;
pbmp->GetBitmap(&bmpInfo);


CBitmap* pOldBitmap = dcMemory.SelectObject( pbmp );

dc.BitBlt( 0, 0, bmpInfo.bmWidth, bmpInfo.bmHeight, &dcMemory, 0, 0, SRCCOPY );
}
