How to include in your project

2. Copy BmpDlg.rc into your res directory
3. Add this line to your project’s rc2 file:
   #include “BmpDlg.rc”

This class illustrates the use of Hook procedures and additional templates for this kind of dialogs. It can be used as a template to create dialogs with other, more specific, previews.
