Pullin out my hair... image from mem, DC

[invitro]

Ok i got this code from the forum somewhere... sorry I really forget where but its not mine.

Private Const LR_LOADFROMFILE As Long = &H10
Private Const IMAGE_BITMAP As Long = &H0
Private Const SRCCOPY = &HCC0020

Private Declare Function BitBlt Lib "gdi32" (ByVal hDestDC As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal nWidth As Long, ByVal nHeight As Long, ByVal hSrcDC As Long, ByVal xSrc As Long, ByVal ySrc As Long, ByVal dwRop As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function CreateCompatibleDC Lib "gdi32" (ByVal hdc As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function SelectObject Lib "gdi32" (ByVal hdc As Long, ByVal hObject As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function DeleteObject Lib "gdi32" (ByVal hObject As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function loadImage Lib "user32" Alias "LoadImageA" (ByVal hInst As Long, ByVal lpsz As String, ByVal un1 As Long, ByVal n1 As Long, ByVal n2 As Long, ByVal un2 As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function DeleteDC Lib "gdi32" (ByVal hdc As Long) As Long

Private Sub loadBitImage()
    Dim lngDC As Long
    Dim lngBitmap As Long
    Dim lngOldBitmap As Long
    
    lngDC = CreateCompatibleDC(picMain.hdc)
    
    lngBitmap = loadImage(0, appPath & "1.jpg", IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE)
    
    lngOldBitmap = SelectObject(lngDC, lngBitmap)
    
    BitBlt picMain.hdc, 0, 0, 256, 256, lngDC, 0, 0, SRCCOPY
    
    Call SelectObject(lngDC, lngOldBitmap)
    DeleteObject lngBitmap
    DeleteDC lngDC
    
End Sub

But it does not work, its exactly what im looking for... yet it wont work. What am i doing wrong? Everything looks good ... yet the picture wont load into my picmain control

never mind... i solved my problem. I didnt look carefully enough, and it looks like it only loads BMPS right now, anyhow... ill have to fix that

[invitro]

I desided not to use that code, instead I just did this

Private Sub loadBitImage()
    DoEvents
    Dim myPicture As New StdPicture
    Set myPicture = LoadPicture(appPath & "1.tmp")
    
    picMain.PaintPicture myPicture, 1, 1
    

    
End Sub

For all ya ppl who like examples
