Unable to load image during WinApi c++ programming - winapi

Question

I am doing WinApi C++ programming with my colleague. We are using the visual studio. While I was loading the image, there was an error like the one in the picture below.
While debugging, I found out that this is an error caused by the lack of files on the path. You can simply add a file to the path to resolve the error, but you want to import the image from another specified path. The reason why you don't choose a simple method is that even though your colleagues use the same code, they succeed in importing files from different paths, so they don't get errors.
The path where I import the file is 'D:\BreakTogether\OutPut\bin\Res', and the path where my colleague imports the file is 'D:\BreakTogether\bin\Res'. Below is the code used to get the file path.
#include "pch.h"
#include "ResMgr.h"
#include "PathMgr.h"
#include "Image.h"
ResMgr::ResMgr()
{
}
ResMgr::~ResMgr()
{
/*map<wstring, Image*>::iterator iter;
for (iter = m_mapImg.begin(); iter != m_mapImg.end(); ++iter)
{
delete iter->second;
}*/
Safe_Delete_Map(m_mapImg);
}
Image* ResMgr::ImgLoad(const wstring& _strKey, const wstring& _strRelativePath)
{
Image* pImg = ImgFind(_strKey);
if (nullptr != pImg)
{
return pImg;
}
wstring strFilePath = PathMgr::GetInst()->GetRsrcPath();
strFilePath += _strRelativePath;
pImg = new Image;
pImg->Load(strFilePath);
pImg->SetKey(_strKey);
pImg->SetRelativePath(_strRelativePath);
m_mapImg.insert(make_pair(_strKey, pImg));
// m_mapImg.insert({ _strKey , pImg });
return pImg;
}
Image* ResMgr::ImgFind(const wstring& _strKey)
{
auto iter = m_mapImg.find(_strKey);
if (iter == m_mapImg.end())
{
return nullptr;
}
return static_cast<Image*>(iter->second);
}
#include "pch.h"
#include "PathMgr.h"
#include "Core.h"
PathMgr::PathMgr()
: m_szRsrcPath{}
{
}
PathMgr::~PathMgr()
{
}
void PathMgr::Init()
{
GetCurrentDirectory(255, m_szRsrcPath);
int Length = wcslen(m_szRsrcPath);
for (int i = Length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
if (m_szRsrcPath[i] == '\\')
{
m_szRsrcPath[i] = '\0';
break;
}
}
wcscat_s(m_szRsrcPath, 255, L"\\bin\\Res\\");
SetWindowText(Core::GetInst()->GetWndHandle(), m_szRsrcPath);
}
I tried adding an image to the path where I load the file. That will solve the problem. However, it is inefficient because my colleague and I have to add the same file twice because we have different paths to load the image.

Answer 1

If you can load the file normally when the image file is in place, there is no problem with your code.
Go to your Project Property Pages -> Debugging -> Working Directory and align your path with your colleagues.
If the problem is not solved, plz tell me more about your problem.
Have a nice day!
