Visual Studio 2012 Import resource problem !!!

Mr. Tomay asked:

Open original thread
To load a bitmap from resource you normally use one of the below function:

BOOL LoadBitmap(UINT nIDResource);
BOOL LoadBitmap(LPCTSTR lpszResourceName);


To do so, I have folowed the example in this page:
http://www.functionx.com/visualc/bitmaps/DisplayFromResource.htm[^]

I did it using VC 6.0. It has compiled like a charm even when moving the progect to onther computer with VC 6.0 installed, because the Imported .bmp file (resource) becomes part of the project (VC 6.0 made a copy to the res folder of the project).

But, doing the same thing with VS 2012, the project will compile only on the computer where it has been created in (VS 2012 will not make a copy of the .bmp file (resource) in the res folder of the project).

I think that this is a bug., if not so whats wrong with VS 2012 !?

EDIT:

You should take a look at this demo to understand what I mean.

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
