BDLG - Bitmap DiaLoG

This is the MSDN example with a few corruptions added.

As I was putting this page together and testing out the sample program, I noticed that some of the dialogs didn't run quite the way I remembered them. (I thought they were all working.) I think the code is mainly good, but you'll need to tweak some things.

We got a lot of the code from CodeGuru and CodeProject, in addition to the MSDN sample, and the purpose of this for me is to keep in one place stuff I needed to know about bitmaps.

Corruption Necessary tweak

Load File it used to load and display bitmap from a *.bmp file, now it doesn't. Probably that file is missing.

Colored Group Box it fills in the screen area of a group box with a background color. It used to work right, but now it seems to cover up all the other controls inside the group box.

Transparent forgot what this did

Create create a bitmap on the fly and use as background for the dialog

Ellipse draw an ellipse and fill with a null brush.

Screen Capture capture the screen to a bitmap and set it to an image control

Copy Control copy from one image control to another

Here's the zipped project.

If you fix any bugs, please drop me a note at todd@SaysLaw.com, thanks.
