Set a BS_OWNERDRAW window style to a button.


CONTROL "IDC_BTN",IDC_BTN1,"Button",WS_CHILDWINDOW|WS_VISIBLE|WS_CLIPSIBLINGS|WS_TABSTOP|BS_OWNERDRAW,12,12,36,18,WS_EX_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW

That leaves a static in the shape of the Button ....It does not show icon or bitmap that is there

Use static for a bitmap displaying - declare it in a RC file after button declaration.
