LoadBitmap (user32)
 
.
Summary

C# Signature:

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern IntPtr LoadBitmap(IntPtr hInstance, string lpBitmapName);

User-Defined Types:

None.

Notes:

Can also be declared as:

static extern IntPtr LoadBitmap(IntPtr hInstance, long resourceID)

but calling this generates as PInvokeStackImbalance MDA exception (though seems to work, despite it).

The PInvokeStackImbalance MDA exception is throw because the .NET longs are 64 bits, and the API longs 32.

the declaration of the function at your code must be the next:

static extern IntPtr LoadBitmap(IntPtr hInstance, int resourceID);
