    Hi,
    I'm new at Win32 Programming and I'm trying to write my first program with a GUI.
    I have create the main window and some Buttons and Static controls.

    The problem is when I try to display an Icon from the resource in a Static.
    I looked at the MSDN Library for the functions I should use and I came up with this code (I created a new class for the window for ease):

    WinMain.Cpp
    Code:
    [COLOR=seagreen]//create the control[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=#2e8b57]//HWND hMain is defined in WinMain.h[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=#2e8b57]//HWND hImgClip is defined in WinMain.h[/COLOR]
    [SIZE=2]hImgClip = CreateWindow(L[/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515]"STATIC"[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2], TEXT([/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515]""[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2]), (SS_ICON | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | SS_BLACKFRAME | SS_REALSIZEIMAGE), 121, 60, 16, 16, hMain, NULL, (HINSTANCE)GetWindowLong(hMain, GWL_HINSTANCE), NULL);[/SIZE]
    [COLOR=seagreen]//send the SetImage message[/COLOR]
    [SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]if[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] (SendMessage(hImgClip, STM_SETIMAGE, IMAGE_ICON, (LPARAM)LoadIcon(hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_STATUS_INACTIVE [COLOR=seagreen]/* Resource ID: 404 */[/COLOR])))==0)[/SIZE]
    [SIZE=2]{[/SIZE]
    [SIZE=2]  LPVOID lpMsgBuf;[/SIZE]
    [SIZE=2]  FormatMessage((FORMAT_MESSAGE_ALLOCATE_BUFFER | FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM | FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS), NULL, GetLastError(), MAKELANGID(LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_DEFAULT), (LPTSTR)&lpMsgBuf, 0, NULL);[/SIZE]
    [SIZE=2]  MessageBox(NULL, (LPCTSTR)lpMsgBuf, TEXT([/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515]"Error"[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2]), MB_OK);[/SIZE]
    [SIZE=2]  LocalFree(lpMsgBuf);[/SIZE]
    [SIZE=2]}[/SIZE]
    
    When I run the program I get an error message (Unable to find item).

    Can anybody help me?
