Inserting a bitmap image into Rich Edit Control

I am currently working on a project in which I need to use a pin pad device for an electronic signature capture. When the electronic signature is captured, it is saved as a .bmp file. When I take the same .bmp file and insert it into Rich Ed开发者_如何学运维it Control, it simply shows a filled in square box, instead of what the signature looks like. When I open the .bmp in Microsoft Picture and Fax viewer, the .bmp displays properly... Meaning that I can visibly see the electronic signature that was captured from the pin pad device.

The operating system is "Windows Embedded", which is basically a stripped down version of Windows XP that is typically used by retailers.

Any opinion on how I can fix this would be great. Note* It must be inserted via Rich Edit Control. Use of any other program to insert the .bmp is not an option.
