    Or if you're using MFC you can use the CBitmapButton class.

    Sure.

    Code:
    CButton myButton;
    
    // Create a bitmap button.
    myButton.Create(_T("My button"), WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|BS_BITMAP, 
       CRect(10,10,60,50), pParentWnd, 1);
    
    // Set the bitmap of the button to be the system check mark bitmap.
    myButton.SetBitmap( ::LoadBitmap(NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(OBM_CHECK)) );
    Replace MAKEINTRESOURCE(OBM_CHECK)) with the resource ID of the desired bitmap.

    Just use CButton with the flag BS_BITMAP.
    CBitmapButton is more complicated and allows for ledd functionality, plus it's MFC specific. Use the code example I gave you to place a CButton with a Bitmap on it.

    If you really want to use CBitmapButton, refer to this MSDN article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...tmapButton.asp
