The world is against me!!! LoadImage() question!
Author
OK, direct draw won''t let me create a surface, despite everything being seemingly correct so I decide to just leave that for now to concentrate on actually making a game instead of struggling with an API (yes I know GDI is an API), So I rewrite my functions to use GDI instead of DX and then GDI decides it hates me too. I have this line of code:
if (!(hbmpNew = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(NULL, lpszFileName, IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE)))
Which was working perfectly, even when direct draw wasn''t. I tried GetLastError() and it says "The operation completed successfully" so apparently it''s working fine but after the function call hbmpNew is still NULL.
Can someone PLEASE help me befor I join a hippy commune and never see a computer again?
And to make things worse I just posted this in the wrong forum a minute ago, hows that for bad karma!

OK, I''m not sure if it would hel anpy though. The entire code in the function up until LoadImage():
LOG log; //my error log class HBITMAP hbmpNew = NULL; //used for LoadImage() HBITMAP hbmpOld = NULL; //used for SelectObject() LPVOID msgBuffer1 = NULL; //used fo Format message troubleshooting //load load the bitmap if (!(hbmpNew = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(NULL, lpszFileName, IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE))) { log.string1 = "couldn''t load Image"; log.ErrorLog("GDI load bitmap.txt"); }//end if
From a quick glance over your code it appears everything is correct. Are you sure you are passing the correct filename to the LoadImage? That could be your problem to.
