    MFC
    CBitmap bmp;
    bmp.LoadBitmap(IDB_BITMAP1);// IDB_BITMAP1 will be the existing bitmap in your resource.


    Win32

    HBITMAP hbmp = LoadBitmap(hinst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_BITMAP1));

    You can use LoadBitmap function to load the resource into memory.

    If you are using LoadBitmap function of GDI, it will return a HBITMAP handle value. You can use this handle for further drawing and processing.

    If you are using CBitmap::LoadImage, it will internally store the handle value inside the object. You can use m_hObject (or operator HBIMAP) to get the handle value (if required)

    Just google or go to codeproject you can see enormous number of articles regarding bitmap and GDI
