Thread: LoadBitmap function call is constantly failing for some reason

I don't understand why that works, and why it doesn't work with just hThisInstance. Why is that?

Thank you very much. I've been trying to get that to work for ages, with no success.

Your WinMain function has a hThisInstance parameter, but choosing the same name won't magically update the global variable. You have to choose two different names, and explicitly store the handle in the global variable.
