Hi guys,

I'm a newbie in this forum and also about Symbian OS. I just want to ask your help about displaying image(bitmaps). I also try the example http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/How_to_read_images_to_Symbian_bitmap but it's not working. I hope you can help me if you were able to run it.

Thanks...

i found a sample code at the S60 wiki:
http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/How_to_read_images_to_Symbian_bitmap

I think that should help you.

I checked: The S60 SDK documentation tells that CImageDecoder::FileNewL() replaces the class that I mentioned.

Well, probably we produced a misunderstanding.

It is for example perfectly possibly to install together with your program any number of picture files in Windows Bitmap, JPEG or GIF format, and then at program runtime load the pictures from these files on the phone, convert them to Symbian bitmaps while loading, and display them.

This is exactly the job of the CMdaImageFileToBitmapUtility class, at least in UIQ. I think in S60 it is deprecated, and there is something new (and hopefully better) to replace it.

well thanks 4 suggestion, and from the way you have told i have to use mbm file, bcoz in bmp file directly we can not loaded.
I want for bmp files or any image file. The problem is i do not know at run time to convert bmp to mbm files.

So i m confused.

Isn't it always urgent?

You have to load the picture from its file (assuming that it is somewhere on a drive of the phone, as a single file), and possibly convert the picture to a CFbsBitmap*, and then use CWindowGc::DrawBitmap.

For reading from file, in UIQ there is the CMdaImageFileToBitmapUtility class. Don't know about S60...
