I have been through the PM Ref online docs, as I needed to do the same thing,
and unsuccessfully tried to use the BS_ICON flag.

Using a BS_ICON style button, I had to use the pCtlData in WinCreateWindow
filling the BTNCDATA with the appropriate data.  This seemed to fail no
matter what I did.

So, I wrote my own button.  It handles text and bitmaps, and can also be
two-state (for a toggle), which was something else I needed.  It wasn't
that hard, really.  If you're interested, I can mail you sample code.

Also, have a look at the MMPM toolkit.  (I found this out _after_ I'd
written my own BUTTON control).  IBM have implemented a Bitmap button
which handles text, icons, bitmaps, and animations, as well as two-states.
Exactly what I needed, but until MM is included with the base product,
I can't use it.  Still, once 2.1 comes out it should be included, which
will make things a lot easier.

Hope this helps!
