how to use bitmap as a button in c++ win32

Open original thread
Hello, anyone can tell me how to use a bitmap as a button, actually i can create a static control and could set a picture to it but the thing is that i don't know how to use it as a button, i am using c++ win32.
This is how i create the bitmap

Code:
C#
HWND Profile_Stuff(HWND hWnd, HINSTANCE hInst)
{
        HWND Profile_Pic;

Profile_Pic = CreateWindow("STATIC", NULL, SS_BITMAP|WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|WS_TABSTOP|WS_BORDER, 5,5,33,33, hWnd, NULL, hInst, NULL);
	HBITMAP hBmp = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(NULL, "camera1.jpg", IMAGE_BITMAP,0,0,LR_LOADFROMFILE);
	if(hBmp == NULL){
		MessageBox(NULL, "Error while loading image", "Error", MB_OK|MB_ICONERROR);
	}
	SendMessage(Profile_Pic, STM_SETIMAGE, (WPARAM)IMAGE_BITMAP, (LPARAM)hBmp);
	return 0;
    }


then i call the function in main window wm_create message handler which creates it successfully, now i don't know to use it as a button.
