I am looking at creating a Windows Forms Application in C++, and adding a .jpg to the resource file (which I know how to do), then loading it and setting it as a background, this way all the files are built into the .exe file instead of having a folder outside of the application. Anyone able to point me in the right direction or tell me how I can make a resource as background in my code, I think I would do something like, this->BackgroundImage.FromFile(<resource code here>, <boolean not sure about>);
