Well, I know there are quite a few topics about this but I couldn't get any of these to work. I'm trying to put a simple image into my dialoge.

The dialoge is defined in a .res file, I can access all the things I've made there, change values ect, but I seem to be unable to put a simple bitmap in there.

I've tried to add a UserArea and a BitmapButton, but without any results.

has anyone a snipped of code he can show just to add a bitmap to a UserArea defined in the res file?

Thanks and best Regards

Don't use the .res file to add a bitmap. I never had luck with it. Don't need to use a UserArea either.

Here's how I do it in GeDialog::CreateLayout() :

  
               // Image  
               GroupBegin(0, BFH_SCALEFIT|BFV_SCALEFIT, 0, 1, String(""), 0);  
               {  
                    GroupBorderSpace(8,8,8,8);  
                    BitmapButtonCustomGui* bmbutton;  
                    BaseContainer bc;  
  
                    bc.SetLong(DESC_CUSTOMGUI,CUSTOMGUI_BITMAPBUTTON);  
                    bc.SetLong(BITMAPBUTTON_BORDER,BORDER_IN);  
                    bc.SetBool(BITMAPBUTTON_BUTTON,FALSE);  
                    // BitMap Button  
                    if (!(bmbutton = (BitmapButtonCustomGui* )AddCustomGui(4000,CUSTOMGUI_BITMAPBUTTON,String(),BFH_CENTER|BFV_CENTER,SizePix(256),SizePix(200),bc)))  
                         throw ErrorException(ERROR_MEMORY, "AboutDialog.CreateLayout.bmbutton");  
                    Filename bg = GeGetPluginPath()+Filename("res")+Filename("about.jpg");  
                    if (GeFExist(bg)) bmbutton->SetImage(bg, FALSE);  
               }  
               GroupEnd();

If you know the image size, change the "SizePix()" values in the AddCustomGui() call. If not, you can preload the bitmap, get the dimensions, and go from there.
