Hy there,

I am currently working on MFC dialog, I need to insert pictures dynamically.
Actually I don't want to use the drag drop option of picture already provided. This is static approach however I need to specify an area via code and than load image to that area. This would now be dynamic and my requirement.

~~Need help urgently.~~

Thanks.

Can you please explain further (use the improve Question button at the bottom of your question).

Where are you trying to put the image? In a dialog box, on a button, around some text, ...?
Does "without using picture box" mean that you don't want to use a separate control to hold the image, if so, why, or what is stopping this approach?

Solution 2

Use CStatic control. And change its property for bit map.

I think this is what they are calling a "picture box", could be wrong tho.

Solution 1

Use the CBitmap[^] class to construct the image and draw into your view.

You can use the picture control in the dialog editor still. Give it an ID (near the bottom of the properties pane), for example IDC_PICTURE

Now in the code you can get a handle of the picture control with GetDlgItem(IDC_PICTURE).

Once you have the handle, you can move or resize it with either SetWindowPos[^] or MoveWindow[^]

If you cast the value returned by GetDlgItem to CStatic you can also use the functions in that class to change the picture or anything else.

C++

int width = 100;
int height = 75;
CStatic *pMyPicture = (CStatic *)GetDlgItem(IDC_PICTURE);
pMyPicture ->SetWindowPos(NULL, 0, 0, width, height, SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_NOMOVE); //Don't reorder control layering, and don't move the top left corner
//This example will only move the bottom right corner to resize
