Creating a button w/ icon - MFC
Author
Does anyone know how to create a button (CButton) with an icon in it instead of text? I''ve done some research and so far I have:
h_icon = LoadIcon(NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_CLOSE));
m_bClose.SetIcon(h_icon);
Also, in the resource editor, I have the the Icon style box checked. Everything compiles fine, but my button is empty! Any thoughts?

Nevermind, I found the solution:
The NULL in the function LoadIcon shouldn''t be NULL - it has to be the instance of my app.
Silly me.

Correct, hInstance should be NULL ONLY while loading a non-standard icon ... taken directly from VS .NET SDK:
hInstance
[in] Handle to an instance of the module whose executable file contains the icon to be loaded. This parameter must be NULL when a standard icon is being loaded.
