MBM in Carbide....CRASH!!!!

[abolfoooud]

Hellow Symbian fellows,

i am trying to wiew a bitmap on a S60 app using carbide. i did this simple task before using the previous MBM compilation in .mmp file. with carbide you do not have sucha thing. any ways, i managed to create the mbmdef file and i got my mbm in hte applicaiton directory under system\apps\MyApp. now i try to run the following usual code but my applicaiton leaves!!! i checked my mbg i checked the existance of mbm and all were where they should be.
any idea why it is leaving???

// in container constructl()
...
_LIT(KPath, "\\system\\apps\\BitmapEx\\Bitmaps.mbm");
bit = new (ELeave) CFbsBitmap();
User::LeaveIfError(bit->Load(KPath, EMbmBitmapsSunset));
...

// in container Draw()
CWindowGc& gc = SystemGc();
gc.DrawRect( aRect );

You may try to check the error code returned by Load.
Anyway, if your app is in system\apps\MyApp, why is it so sure that Bitmap.mbm exists in \system\apps\BitmapEx?

thnax wizard hu
the error code is -12 which is "Unable to find the specified folder" according to the SDK. but i triple checked my mbm file. it is int he proper folder as below:

C:\Symbian\8.0a\S60_2nd_FP2_CW\Epoc32\release\winscw\udeb\z\system\apps\BitmapEx

this is where my app and rsc are stored as well.
any idea?

cheers

it is int he proper folder as below:

C:\Symbian\8.0a\S60_2nd_FP2_CW\Epoc32\release\winscw\udeb\z\system\apps\BitmapEx

It is ok for the .rsc, but I would try to copy the .mbm to ...epoc32\data\z\system\apps\BitmapEx, and - if it still does not help - to the epoc32\winscw\c\sysem\apps\BitmapEx (in this last case, the drive letter will be necessary to be added to your path-constant).
