I KNEW you would know the technical term for this! Joe, you are truly a
pleasure to have as a part of our little community here.

It's called the "NOUTH-SORTH" phenomenon in cognitive psychology circles.

Look again at the line Ali was referring to. It's not got syntax issues.

Those little syntax glitches are difficult to see because we've trained
and
conditioned our mind to see certain patterns. It's easy to miss these
sorts
of syntax errors because we're not used to seeing them. The brain sees
the
cast and the first few characters after that, and then fills in the blanks
for you, assuming that pattern that you are used to seeing is, actually
there. Buggy Brains!

first thing first, you can't call GetDlgItem on id IDC_STATIC. All

a different ID. IDC_XXXX

I missed the IDC_STATIC. Sigh.

Why aren't you simply using a Picture control?

That's where the problem arises. A picture control with a Bitmap style
should work. A
generic CStatic probably won't

I'm still trying to wrap my head around your ModifyStyle call! Does that
compile?

Actually it makes perfect sense, in that the OP is indicating that all
bits should be
cleared and some bits set. Other than the fact that this will have zero
net effect
because it is far too late, it could work, but it is a really, really
bad
way to get the
desired effect of setting only some bits (and leaving everything else
untouched).

The line should disappear.

HI ,
I have created one dialog application, in that i have added one
CStatic control.
Then i have added below code in OnInitDialog()

// Start
CStatic *pStaPicHolder = (CStatic*)GetDlgItem(IDC_STATIC);

if (NULL == pStaPicHolder)
return;

BOOL b = pStaPicHolder->ModifyStyle(~0, (DWORD)(SS_BITMAP, WS_CHILD |
WS_VISIBLE));
//pHBitmap = LoadBitmap(theApp.GetResModuleHandle(),
MAKEINTRESOURCE(nBitmapID));

HBITMAP pHBitmap1 = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(AfxGetInstanceHandle(),
"BallaStream.Bmp", IMAGE_BITMAP, 90, 30, LR_LOADFROMFILE);

if (NULL != pHBitmap1)
{
HBITMAP pBt = pStaPicHolder->SetBitmap(pHBitmap1);
}

//End

But iam not seeing bitmap getting displayed in static control in
dialog.
