Visual C++ 6: Import 24-Bit-Bitmaps as resource -

I have a problem I have a project in Visual C ++ 6 where I want to load an image and it's on the window Must have to pour. It was not a problem Bitmap I am imported into resources (like part of the project).

However, the image I want to load is a 24-bit-bitmap but as long as I know, in VC + 6 6, I can only import 8-bit-bitmaps, because when I Importing 24-bit-image in VC ++ 6, color changes or an error occurs. Only when I loaded an 8-bit-bitmap, no color was changed.

So the question: Is it possible to import a 24-bit-bitmap in Visual C ++ as a resource
