If you want to select the file yourself you can use CFileDialog

CFileDialog cl(TRUE,NULL,NULL,OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT,
"Bmp files *.bmp |*.bmp|All files|*.*||",this);

cl.m_ofn.Flags=cl.m_ofn.Flags|OFN_SHAREAWARE;
CString fullpath;
int ret=cl.DoModal();
if (ret==IDOK)
{
fullpath=cl.GetPathName();
//now in fullpath you have the full path to the bmp file
}

Then you should load and do the same way than the sample (I suppose because i have not readed the sample)

here (http://www.dev-archive.com/bitmap/index.shtml) you could find code for loading bitmaps from file. Please, check the samples yourself.

and you can use this other example (http://www.dev-archive.com/dialog/BmpDlg.shtml) for displaying in a dialog if the last example did not helped you.

And please, do not open a new thread or you could receive a reprimand from the moderators :D
