The easiest way to load JPG, JPEG, GIF, and PNG images under VC

The API loadbitmap/LoadImage cbitmap provided by vc mfc can only operate BMP bitmaps and icons. Other commonly used JPG/JPEG/GIF/PNG formats cannot be used. How can I load images in non-BMP format under VC? The following describes the simplest method. Use the load function of the cimage class to load the image, and then use detach to obtain the hbitmap handle. After obtaining the hbitmap handle of the image, you can process the image in JPG, JPEG, GIF, and PNG formats like operating the BMP image. DetailsCodeAs follows:
# Include "atlimage. H"
Cimage IMG;
Hresult ret = IMG. Load (filename); // filename is the name of the file to be loaded (including the path)
Hbitmap bitmap = IMG. Detach ();
// Process the image like a BMP image.
