DevC++ Image File Loading Problem
Author
I wrote an OpenGL Checkers game program for Mac OS 10.4 using XCode 2.x. The game runs quite well, so I decided to also make one for Windows using DevC++. Just like with XCode, getting images to load and display is turning out to be a monumental task.
The error is my own messageBox error saying that there is no hBitmap (!hBitmap).
What could be causing this? The code is included below.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To start, a new C plus plus Windows project was created and saved in its own folder which also contains a 512x512 24 bit bmp image of a checkerboard
(checkerboard.bmp).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A new resource file, "Images.rc" was created with the following information:
CHECKERBOARD BITMAP "checkerboard.bmp"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
main.cpp looks like this:

You have to provide the full file name:
hBitmap = (HBITMAP) LoadImage(hinst,
"CHECKERBOARD.BMP",
IMAGE_BITMAP,
0, 0,
LR_LOADFROMFILE | LR_CREATEDIBSECTION);
Preferably you might add the full path to your game folder so you always load the correct file.
hBitmap = (HBITMAP) LoadImage(hinst,
"CHECKERBOARD.BMP",
IMAGE_BITMAP,
0, 0,
LR_LOADFROMFILE | LR_CREATEDIBSECTION);
Preferably you might add the full path to your game folder so you always load the correct file.
[edit]Ha, Endurion is correct on that, I guess I fixed that and didn't realize it -- the error goes away, but the image will not display, bugs in the code :/
For future references, you can wrap your code in [source] code goes here [/source] tags for a cleaner presentation [wink]
Now as for your project. It compiles and runs fine for me, but it does not work. I just placed a 512x512 bmp in the same folder and it ran without that error. I however did get that error when the file was not there. Check to make sure that your bitmap is in the same folder and your project so it is loaded from where the .exe is compiled at. It should fix that.
Now as for your program, I would suggest not trying to do all of this from scratch again. There is a function done that does all of this + other formats as well by NeHe. It's called IPicture (http://nehe.gamedev.net/counter.asp?file=files/misc/nehe_ipicture.zip) I pasted in the link because hotlinking to the file does not work on the first try, so copy and paste it into your URL bar.
Ok, so in relation to your project. Basically you can rip out all of the BMP loading stuff and replace it with the function and this function call:O
And that's it! The function takes care of everything else for you. Of course you have to add in a few more header files and link in additional files, but they are all native Win32.
Ok, so here is a copy and paste modification of your code to show you what I have been talking about:
Note that you will have to now link in the following libraries:
You should not need a resource file either now. See if this helps, if you have any questions on it feel free to ask! The NeHe function is at the top of your program, so you do not have to download the IPicture example if you do not want to.

I want to make the checkerboard .bmp file tied in with the .exe program as a resource. That is why I am trying to use the "CHECKERBOARD" handle in the .rc file. This worked for me in a different DevC++ project, but not this one.
DevC++ shows examples where this is being done.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the file loaded this way, I no longer get the error. I don't think
the image will be part of the .exe program, though:
hBitmap = (HBITMAP) LoadImage(hinst,
"checkerboard.bmp",
IMAGE_BITMAP,
0, 0,
LR_LOADFROMFILE | LR_CREATEDIBSECTION);
if (!hBitmap) {
MessageBox(NULL, "LoadImage failed", "ERROR", MB_OK);
}
And there are also OpenGL related problems. The image does not show up. Maybe version 4.9.9.2 has problems with .rc files.

If you want to load the image from the resources you have to
A) include the bmp in the resources (i think you already did that)
B) remove the LR_LOADFROMFILE flag (otherwise LoadBitmap tries to load from a file)
If you included the bmp in your resources you ought to have an ID for it. Use that as the second parameter in one of the both ways:
LoadBitmap( hinst, "ID_DEFINE", ...
or
LoadBitmap( hinst, MAKEINTRESOURCE( ID_DEFINE ), ...

Thanks for the code, DREW_BENTON. The checkerboard image displays. No modifications needed.
It would be nice if there was some sort of handbook for DevC++.
It still bugs me that DevC++ 4.9.9.2 beta will not recognize .rc files.
