okay, i''m trying to use the LoadBitmap function WHICH has finally worked for me... but i''d like to know how to load a bitmap from file, NOT resources, can i still use load bitmap or will i need to do something completely different?

You''ll need LoadImage:

  HBITMAP hBmp;      hBmp = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(hInst,"C:\\Image.bmp",IMAGE_BITMAP,      0,0,LR_DEFAULTSIZE|LR_LOADFROMFILE);

I''m not sure if nInst can be NULL, i haven''t tested that code, and its been a while since i used LoadImage.
