Display image...

How can I display an image from the loaded *.gif or *.bmp image file with CreateFile and ReadFile API?

With difficulty :(
You'd have to try and create a device context from the data of the file ... you sure you can't use a GenerateDC() function or something similar instead of reading in the file ?

actually, im spliting the GIF imgae file into an individual image(per frame), in order to display the image i can create a temporary GIF file and reload into a picturebox/image control. But it seem too much file I/O involve.

Hence, I plan to use the read data to display the image without save into the temporary GIF file. Do you think this is a good method? or do suggest/recommend some others method to me :)

Hmmm.
I'll have a think :)
I would suggest messaging zaei on this one too ... sastraxi and fox too ...
