Visual C++ Modeless Dialog Bitmap Not Showing

Question

I am trying to display a modeless dialog in Visual C++ with a bitmap image on it. I created the dialog using Visual Studio's Resource View and when previewed it shows up just fine. When trying to display it as a modeless dialog the image does not show up, just a blank dialog window. Here is the code I am using to show the dialog:

HWND g_splash = CreateDialog(hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_SPLASH), NULL, NULL);
if(g_splash != NULL)
{
    ShowWindow(g_splash, SW_SHOW);
}

Also, when opened as a modal dialog the image appears just fine, so I am thinking it is not an issue with the dialog itself. Any ideas on why this is happening would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I have tried it in VS2012 MFC, it works fine.

The modeless dialog with image is showed after calling CreateDialog

Maybe is something wrong else, not CreateDialog function, you may change a image to try. my image is bmp file and small size(7.08KB)
