CStatic::SetBitmap

Visual Studio 2005

Associates a new bitmap with the static control.


HBITMAP SetBitmap(
   HBITMAP hBitmap 
);

Parameters

hBitmap: Handle of the bitmap to be drawn in the static control.

Return Value

The handle of the bitmap previously associated with the static control, or NULL if no bitmap was associated with the static control.

Remarks

The bitmap will be automatically drawn in the static control. By default, it will be drawn in the upper-left corner and the static control will be resized to the size of the bitmap.

You can use various window and static control styles, including the following:

SS_BITMAP Use this style always for bitmaps.
SS_CENTERIMAGE Use to center in the static control. If the image is larger than the static control, it will be clipped. If it is smaller than the static control, the empty space around the image will be filled by the color of the pixel in the upper left corner of the bitmap.

Example

CStatic myStatic;

// Create a child bitmap static control.
myStatic.Create(_T("my static"), 
   WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|SS_BITMAP|SS_CENTERIMAGE, CRect(10,10,150,50), 
   pParentWnd);

// Set the bitmap of the static control to be the 
// system check-mark bitmap.
myStatic.SetBitmap( ::LoadBitmap(NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(OBM_CHECK)) );
