I have a problem loading a bitmap into a Direct3D Immediate Mode Texture, well it seems to be so. I don't get any error, but my cube is not textured. Using the D3DFramework and loading the Texture works fine.
I am using DirectX 6 and MSVC 6 !

This is my code to load the bmp:

BOOL CTexture::LoadBMP(char *strFilename){	HBITMAP hBm = NULL;	BITMAP Bm;	extern HINSTANCE ghInstance;	extern CRenderer Renderer;	extern HWND hWndMain;	hBm = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(ghInstance,strFilename,IMAGE_BITMAP,0,0,LR_LOADFROMFILE|LR_CREATEDIBSECTION);	if (hBm == NULL) {		MessageBox(hWndMain,"Loading Bitmap failed","3D Engine",0);		return FALSE;	}		GetObject(hBm,sizeof(Bm),&Bm);	DDSURFACEDESC2       ddsd;    ZeroMemory(&ddsd, sizeof(ddsd));    ddsd.dwSize = sizeof(ddsd);    ddsd.dwFlags          = DDSD_CAPS|DDSD_HEIGHT|DDSD_WIDTH|DDSD_TEXTURESTAGE;    ddsd.ddsCaps.dwCaps   = DDSCAPS_TEXTURE;    ddsd.ddsCaps.dwCaps2  = DDSCAPS2_TEXTUREMANAGE;    ddsd.dwWidth          = Bm.bmWidth;    ddsd.dwHeight         = Bm.bmHeight;	ddsd.dwTextureStage   = 0;    if (Renderer.pDD4->CreateSurface(&ddsd, &pDDSurface, NULL) != DD_OK) {		DeleteObject(hBm);		MessageBox(hWndMain,"Texture Surface Creation failed","3D Engine",0);		return NULL;	}    HDC                 hdcImage;    HDC                 hdc;    HRESULT             hr;	int x,y,dx,dy;	dx = dy = x = y = 0;    hdcImage = CreateCompatibleDC(NULL);    SelectObject(hdcImage, hBm);    GetObject(hBm, sizeof(Bm), &Bm);    // get size of bitmap	ZeroMemory(&ddsd, sizeof(ddsd));    ddsd.dwSize = sizeof(ddsd);    ddsd.dwFlags = DDSD_HEIGHT | DDSD_WIDTH;    pDDSurface->GetSurfaceDesc(&ddsd);    if ((hr = pDDSurface->GetDC(&hdc)) == DD_OK) {		StretchBlt(hdc, 0, 0, Bm.bmWidth, Bm.bmHeight, hdcImage, 0, 0, Bm.bmWidth, Bm.bmHeight, SRCCOPY);		pDDSurface->ReleaseDC(hdc);    } else {		MessageBox(hWndMain,"Texture GetDC failed","3D Engine",0);	}    DeleteDC(hdcImage);	DeleteObject(hBm);	if (pDDSurface->QueryInterface(IID_IDirect3DTexture2, (LPVOID *)&pDDTexture) != S_OK) {		MessageBox(hWndMain,"Texture Query Interface failed","3D Engine",0);		return FALSE;	}		return TRUE;}

My Renderer uses the pDDTexture member variable for:

pD3DDevice->SetTexture(0,pWorld->texture.pDDTexture);

I have used the D3DFrameworks support for textures and loading the same bitmap without changing the renderer works fine. So there must be an error in my BMP-Loading Routine.

What's wrong with my code ?????
