Routines for displaying image files (.BMP .DIB .EMF .GIF .ICO .JPG .WMF)

After many days of searching (and not finding) a way to load a JPG from a resource and show it on a dialog based application, I decided to take steps

So I created what I call a very simple and useful class, it can easily be implemented by adding it to a project, and you do not have to be a real JPEG freak and invent all header reading from the beginning (it uses the IPicture interface - same way as Internet Explorer does)

About The Project

I was little carried away with this "ACDSee alike" picture viewer, as it was not my main purpose - I did not have the time to make it "perfect", if you feel lucky and want to improve it here and there then please share it with me.

class CPicture
{
public:
	void FreePictureData();
	BOOL Load(CString sFilePathName);
	BOOL Load(UINT ResourceName, LPCSTR ResourceType);
	BOOL LoadPictureData(BYTE* pBuffer, int nSize);
	BOOL SaveAsBitmap(CString sFilePathName);
	BOOL Show(CDC* pDC, CPoint LeftTop, CPoint WidthHeight, int MagnifyX,
                  int MagnifyY);
	BOOL Show(CDC* pDC, CRect DrawRect);
	BOOL ShowBitmapResource(CDC* pDC, const int BMPResource, 
                                CPoint LeftTop);
	BOOL UpdateSizeOnDC(CDC* pDC);

	CPicture();
	virtual ~CPicture();
        // Same As LPPICTURE (typedef IPicture __RPC_FAR *LPPICTURE)
	IPicture* m_IPicture; 
	// Height (In Pixels Ignor What Current Device Context Uses)
	LONG m_Height; 	     
        // Size Of The Image Object In Bytes (File OR Resource) 
        LONG m_Weight;	
        // Width (In Pixels Ignor What Current Device Context Uses)
         LONG m_Width;  
};
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Example & Usage 4 Dummies~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
//
//  U Need 2 Add "CPicture.CPP" and "CPicture.H" Into Your Project 
// (From FileView)
//  So U Will Get Control Over The Functions In This Class,
//  Then U Can Create a Picture Object And Show It On a Device Context
//
// Create a Picture Object (An Instance Of This Class)
//  CPicture m_Picture;  

// Make Sure U Include This Where U Gonna Create The Object...
//  #include "Picture.h" 
//  Load Picture Data Into The IPicture Interface 

(.BMP .DIB .EMF .GIF .ICO .JPG .WMF)
//  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

// Load From a File - Just Load It (Show Later)
//	m_Picture.Load("Test.JPG"); 
// Load From a Resource - Just Load It (Show Later)
//	m_Picture.Load(IDR_TEST, "JPG"); 

//  (U Must Include IDR_TEST In Your Resources Under a Custom Name, 4 
//   Example - "JPG")
//  
//  When Using DC Object On a *Dialog Based* Application (CPaintDC dc(this);)
//  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
//	
// Get Picture Dimentions In Pixels
//      m_Picture.UpdateSizeOnDC(&dc); 
//	m_Picture.Show(&dc, CPoint(0,0), 
                       CPoint(m_Picture.m_Width, m_Picture.m_Height), 0,0);
//	
//      Change Original Dimentions
//      m_Picture.Show(&dc, CRect(0,0,100,100)); 

//      Show Bitmap Resource
//	m_Picture.ShowBitmapResource(&dc, IDB_TEST, CPoint(0,0)); 
//
//  OR When Using a Pointer On a "Regular" MFC Application (CDC* pDC)
//  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
//	m_Picture.UpdateSizeOnDC(pDC); // Get Picture Dimentions In Pixels
//	m_Picture.Show(pDC, CPoint(0,0),  CPoint
//                     m_Picture.m_Width,m_Picture.m_Height), 0,0);
//      Change Original Dimentions
//	m_Picture.Show(pDC, CRect(0,0,100,100)); 
//      Show Bitmap Resource
//	m_Picture.ShowBitmapResource(pDC, IDB_TEST, CPoint(0,0)); 
//  Show Picture Information
//  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
//	CString S;
//	S.Format("Size = %4d\nWidth = %4d\nHeight = %4d\nWeight = %4d\n",
//	         m_Picture.m_Weight, m_Picture.m_Width, 
//               m_Picture.m_Height,  m_Picture.m_Weight);
//	AfxMessageBox(S);

Hi Yovav!!!
I`m relly very thankful for your faster response, I have made as you suggest, but as I said before, I´m beginner in VC++, and I thought that I didn`t follow your instruction correctly...(I don`t know why I taken this trouble!!!Cry | :(( ).

Any way, here is the piece of code that I modified, and one more time thaks for your attention.
By the way..your website is genial!!!!

NOTE.- If you have time, Could I send you the complete program, it`s too good, only miss the part to shown the image stored. and I hope that you can help me whit this. Waiting for your response....Cristian

//This is the OnPaint method

void CBadgeMakerDlg::OnPaint()
{
CPicture m_Picture;
BOOL checa=TRUE;
if (IsIconic())
{
CPaintDC dc(this); // device context for painting

SendMessage(WM_ICONERASEBKGND, (WPARAM) dc.GetSafeHdc(), 0);

// Center icon in client rectangle
int cxIcon = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXICON);
int cyIcon = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYICON);
CRect rect;
GetClientRect(&rect);
int x = (rect.Width() - cxIcon + 1) / 2;
int y = (rect.Height() - cyIcon + 1) / 2;

// Draw the icon
dc.DrawIcon(x, y, m_hIcon);

//this is the part modified by me
if (checa=TRUE){
/////show the picture
m_Picture.UpdateSizeOnDC(&dc); // Get Picture Dimentions In Pixels
m_Picture.Show(&dc, CPoint(0,0), CPoint(m_Picture.m_Width, m_Picture.m_Height), 0,0);
m_Picture.Show(&dc, CRect(0,0,100,100)); // Change Original Dimentions
}
else (checa=FALSE);
}
else
{
CDialog::OnPaint();
}
}



//and this is the funtion modified again
int CBadgeMakerDlg::OnBadge2()
{
CPicture m_Picture;
//CPaintDC dc(this);
BOOL checa = TRUE ;
HWND hwnd;
//////////load a picture from a file
checa= TRUE;
m_Picture.Load("c:\\FotosPrueba1\\image1.bmp"); // Load From a File - Just Load It (Show Later)

InvalidateRect(hwnd, NULL, TRUE);
return 0L;
}


NOTE.- When I compile the program only one error appears
