Load resource from .msstyles DLL using WinAPI?

[Decipher]

I'm trying to display bitmaps stored inside a theme resource dll on a GUI. I'd like to be able to specify the name as it is displayed in ResHacker for the function call. I can extract strings as they are numbered but the bitmap images listed under RT_BITMAP are not numbered - I'm using Trancexx's resource viewer.

I've tried.

#Include <WinAPI.au3>

Global Const $STM_SETIMAGE = 0x0172

$hTest = GUICreate("", - 1, - 1, -1, -1)
$hPic = GUICtrlCreatePic("", -1, -1, 50, 22)
Local $hInstance = _WinAPI_LoadLibrary($sThemeFile)
Local $hBitmap = _WinAPI_LoadImage($hInstance, "((((Some Integer that I can't find))))", $IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, $LR_DEFAULTCOLOR)
GUICtrlSendMsg($hPic, $STM_SETIMAGE, $IMAGE_BITMAP, $hBitmap)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

Thanks,

If the resource is not identified by integer then it's by string. Pass string not integer.

trancexx,

Thanks I'll try that.

You be yourself, don't worry about me.

trancexx,

Your right it does work with the string identifier although I know I would've tried that before posting. I wonder what the problem was?

#Include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <Constants.au3>
Global Const $STM_SETIMAGE = 0x0172

$hTest = GUICreate("", - 1, - 1, -1, -1)
$hPic = GUICtrlCreatePic("", -1, -1, 50, 22)
Local $hInstance = _WinAPI_LoadLibrary("H:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Luna\luna.msstyles")
Local $hBitmap = _WinAPI_LoadImage($hInstance, "BLUE_STARTBUTTON_BMP", $IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, $LR_DEFAULTCOLOR)
GUICtrlSendMsg($hPic, $STM_SETIMAGE, $IMAGE_BITMAP, $hBitmap)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
   Sleep(5000)
WEnd

When displaying the images in the theme dll the transparent section is pink and the image is repeated. How can I display it the way MS does? I realize that its their original format and the dll isn't the problem but I'd like to be able to utilize them as is.
