This article was previously published under Q218972 Note Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 and Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2002 support both the managed code
model that is provided by the Microsoft .NET Framework and the unmanaged native
Microsoft Windows code model. The information in this article applies only to
unmanaged Visual C++ code. SUMMARY Loadpic.exe is a sample that shows how to load graphics
files like .gif, .jpg, .bmp, .ico, .emf, .wmf, and displays them. To do this,
use functionality built into the OleLoadPicture function. The OleLoadPicture function converts these different
formats to an IPicture interface. We can then use the IPicture::Render function to display
them. MORE INFORMATIONVisual C++ 6.0

Aside from the IPicture::Render function, you can also display the
picture using other functions. You can use the BitBlt function for bitmaps, or
the PlayMetaFile function for metafiles. You can also extract the handle to the picture by
calling the IPicture::get_Handle function. You can cast the handle to the appropriate
type; that is, for example HBITMAP, HICON, and HMETAFILE. To determine what
type of handle to cast it to, call the IPicture::get_Type function.
