How can I get a HBITMAP structure from a bitmap?

DustinMichaels

What I'm trying to do is make it so a CButton object has a bitmap instead of text on it. When I looked up the documentation it says to use the CButton::SetBitmap function it passes in a HBITMAP structure
so the function declarion looks like this
HBITMAP CButtonSetBitmap( HBITMAP hBitmap );

however I have looked for a while on how to get a HBITMAP structure but i can't figure it out, I can get a BITMAP structure but not a HBITMAP structure

please help me out

How do you have your bitmaps loaded and stored?

Easiest way to do that is to use LoadBitmap (or LoadImage if you want to load from a disk file). Both return an HBITMAP.
