Displaying a picture in a dialog box

[finchie_88]

Hi everyone. I want to display a picture (a jpeg if that make any difference) inside a dialog box, how do I do it?

What's the context--is this a website? What programming language?

Is it an online journal? It would depend on what has been disabled. You can try <img src="http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"border=0> to upload a picture that is hosted on a website.

Sorry about the lack of information. I'm writing in C++, and want to make a tetris game. It's going ok, I just wanted to add a few pictures that's all.

<img src="http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.extension" border="0" alt="alt_text_here" />

*cough*

Yeah, I turn red at the xxx stuff. I can't begin to imagine the material Evo is recommending.

The C++ language does not have standard functions for graphics. You have to use libraries that depend on which operating system you're using (MacOS? Unix/Linux? Or, er, uh, um, that thing Bill Gates sells? ), and possibly on which compiler or programming environment you're using.

ok, sorry, for the delay in replying. Anyway, the OS is windows, the IDE that I am using is Dev-C++ (and am using the default compiler provided with the download). I will be using the functions that are provided in the windows header file(s). I hope someone can help.

If you are just starting with windows programming, then using the Win32 API (i.e. the functions provided with the windows header files) might be a tad too difficult. You could do a quick google search on LibSDL or even Allegro as they will simplify your programming by a great deal.

If you do need to use the windows API, I suggest you go to the MSDN website and do a quick search on Bitmaps and Device Contexts. Also a good site to visit is: http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/ and follow the tutorials they have there.

Hope it helps.
