OK..
After countless trys and many MSDN+Google webpages, I just cant seem to get it to work.
Where:
IDICON_MY_ICON is defined in a resource file as an ICON
winMainDialog is the HWND of the dialog that has the buton
IDC_TVIEW_BUTTON is the button's ID (defined in a header)
And were LoadIcon does NOT return a NULL value.
So im stumped..

HICON Icon = LoadIcon(GetModuleHandle(NULL), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDICON_MY_ICON));SendDlgItemMessage(winMainDialog, IDC_TVIEW_BUTTON, BM_SETIMAGE, IMAGE_ICON, (LPARAM)Icon);Where:
IDICON_MY_ICON is defined in a resource file as an ICON
winMainDialog is the HWND of the dialog that has the buton
IDC_TVIEW_BUTTON is the button's ID (defined in a header)
And were LoadIcon does NOT return a NULL value.

I need just an icon... Im trying to make something along the lines of a tool bar but with a dialog(which is created in a resource file)
Does the button in question have the BS_ICON style?
Note, that, one shouldn''t even have to ask this. Provide more information next time.

HA. None of the various win32 api button tutorials said that the button needed a BS_ICON style to put an image on it. Let me see if this is what im missing.
EDIT:
Thanks AP for the fix. It works now.

And how is he supposed to tell you that information if he has never heard of it in the first place then?

A short test case would have revealed this information, and hence the problem, immediatly.
The more information the better. Always.
