To create a brush based on a bitmap, you can use the following constructor:

CBrush(CBitmap* pBitmap);

If you had declared a CBrush variable using the default constructor, you can call the

CBrush::CreatePatternBrush() member function to initialize it. Its syntax is:

BOOL CreatePatternBrush(CBitmap* pBitmap);

Here is an example:

void CExoView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC)

{

CExoDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();

ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);

CBrush brPattern;

CBitmap Bmp;

CBrush *pBrush;

Bmp.LoadBitmap(IDB_BITMAP1);//"C:\\Programs\\woman2.bmp");

brPattern.CreatePatternBrush(&Bmp);

pBrush = pDC->SelectObject(&brPattern);

pDC->Rectangle(46, 46, 386, 386);

pDC->SelectObject(pBrush);

}
