What is the purpose of defining "wxBITMAP_TYPE_JPEG_RESOURCE" ? Topic is solved

[tomay3000]

Hello,
I have seen that wxBITMAP_TYPE_JPEG_RESOURCE has been declared in the gdicmn.h File as BitmapType enumeration.
So I have tried to use it to load a JPEG file embedded in the RCDATA resource without success

Code: Select all

LoadFile(wxT("image1"), wxBITMAP_TYPE_JPEG_RESOURCE);

I have digged a little bit into the source code, and have found NO implementation to it
So, what is the purpose of defining it ?, is it for future use ?

What is the proper/easy way of loading JPEG embedded files in RCDATA ?

Thank you for your help.

Should work the same for JPGs.

Should work the same for JPGs.

Meaning it was not implemented for resource types other than BMP, ICO and PNG.

So I have to do it the hard way as explained in the link you provided.
