C ++ bitmap constructor from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/47591zc7.aspx

Bitmap Constructor (type, string) . NET Framework 4.5

Initializes a new instance of the bitmap class from a specified resource.

 

Namespace:System. Drawing
Assembly:System. Drawing (in system. Drawing. dll) C ++

public:Bitmap(Type^ type, String^ resource)

Parameters

Type

Type: System: Type

The class used to extract the resource.

Resource

Type: System: String

The name of the resource.

This constructor combines the namespace of the given type with the string name of the resource and looks for a match in the assembly manifest. for example you can pass in the button type and button.bmp to this constructor and it will look for a resource named system.windows.forms.button.bmp.

The following code example demonstrates how to construct a bitmap from a type, and how to use the Save method. to run this example, paste the code into a Windows form. handle the form's paint event and call the constructfromresourcesaveasgif method, passing e as painteventargs

C ++

private:    void ConstructFromResourceSaveAsGif(PaintEventArgs^ e)    {        // Construct a bitmap from the button image resource.        Bitmap^ bmp1 = gcnew Bitmap(Button::typeid, "Button.bmp");        String^ savePath =              Environment::GetEnvironmentVariable("TEMP") + "\\Button.bmp";        try        {            // Save the image as a GIF.            bmp1->Save(savePath, System::Drawing::Imaging::ImageFormat::Gif);        }        catch (IOException^)        {            // Carry on regardless        }        // Construct a new image from the GIF file.        Bitmap^ bmp2 = nullptr;        if (File::Exists(savePath))        {            bmp2 = gcnew Bitmap(savePath);        }        // Draw the two images.        e->Graphics->DrawImage(bmp1, Point(10, 10));        // If bmp1 did not save to disk, bmp2 may be null         if (bmp2 != nullptr)        {            e->Graphics->DrawImage(bmp2, Point(10, 40));        }        // Dispose of the image files.         delete bmp1;        if (bmp2 != nullptr)        {            delete bmp2;        }    }
