you can put anything you want in a resource. and you can put resources in a DLL. so: yes.

In your .rc file for the DLL project, add a line something like this for each image:
"MY_NAME" "IMAGES" "path\\to\\image.jpg".

Then load the DLL dynamically by using HMODULE hModule = LoadLibraryEx("path\\to\\dll", NULL, LOAD_LIBRARY_AS_DATAFILE); (Skip last parameter if you intend to execute code from it as well).

Then from your application call:

HRSRC hRes = FindResource(hModule, _T("MY_NAME"), _T("IMAGES"));
HGLOBAL hGlob = LoadResource(hModule, hRes);
DWORD dwResSize = SizeofResource(hModule, hRes);
void* pData = LockResource(hGlob);

By this point, pData is pointing to a byte array, which contains the data from the jpg-file. It's length is dwResSize.

I omitted all the error checking for brevity.

what images ?

Call them for what ?

Can you help us by telling us what you want to achieve ?

One way to store images in a DLL is to include them in a resource DLL ( hint hint wink wink )

Thanks for your help.

Create a Resource Dll as Suggested By Mr Jorgen!.. and you can use CEnBitmap: Derived From CBitmap[^] class by Dan.g. to dynamic display them..

there are a number of bitmap button classes here on CP that will do what you want.

i happen to like this one[^].

Unfortunately, that class doesn't handle XP themes, so it would look really ugly in an XP GUI.

Indeed. Which is why I'm using the ChaNinja style.

Yikes!

My customers however mostly run XP as is. I doubt many of them know what a theme is. I do know though that they will be able to spot the difference between a seemingly square chunky thing and the rest of the GUI (the Fisher Price/Lego Duplo theme Wink | ;)

). The worst part is that I've got customers running Win98, Me, NT4 and 2000, so anytime I need to hack up a control, I have to give it two rendering routines. Sigh | :sigh:

(And I refuse to buy a third party class library as well. On a pre-XP box, I want things to look pre-XP. I guess I'm a stubborn GUI fascist Smile | :)

I recommend the brute force approach.

Since you want to put a bitmap on the button, why not simply include the text you want in the bitmap? (i.e. your bitmap has the text "Open" with the small folder picture next to it.)

I believe the window TCP/IP stack is based on that of the BSD unix variants. So maybe you can download the BSD stack source for some info.

You could load it into a HTML view (or with a bit more manual labour directly into a IE window), and call IHTMLWindow3::print on it.

We say "get a life" to each other, disappointed or jokingly. What we forget, though, is that this is possibly the most destructive advice you can give to a geek.
