I am currently loading the bitmap like this: pBitmap->LoadFromResourceName( (unsigned int)HInstance, "MYBITMAP" ); This works fine at design time, but it fails at runtime with the message: "Resource MYBITMAP not found." What is the proper way to include resources in a package such that they are available at design-time and runtime? In addition, it must be available whether the package is statically linked or dynamically linked. Can anyone help? - Dennis Back to top Remy Lebeau (TeamB) Guest Posted: Fri Dec 10, 2004 6:13 pm    Post subject: Re: using resources in csustom components "Dennis Jones" <djones (AT) nospamoregon (DOT) com> wrote Quote: I am writing a custom component that displays a bitmap.

After adding a "#pragma resource" statement into my component's CPP file, this latest method worked great.
