How can I create button showing icon and text using BS_ICON and sending BM_SETIMAGE?

Hello everyone!

I would like to start by saying thanks to everyone who takes some time to view this thread and try to help.

I need to make a button that is a child of a main window with following characteristics:

- It has blue background;
- I displays an icon;
- It displays text under icon;
- Text should be bold;
- Text is in Serbian-Cyrillic;

As far as text is concerned, I know there is BS_BOTTOM style to display it at the bottom of the button, and there is SetFont() function to make it bold, but I don't know how to make it accept cyrillic characters ( code example would be greatly appreciated ).

As for icon + text part, this is what I have tried so far:

	ShowWindow(hwnd, nCmdShow);

	while(GetMessage(&Msg, NULL, 0, 0) > 0)

		DispatchMessage(&Msg);
	}

	return Msg.wParam;
}

At MSDN, it is stated that in order for button to display icon and text BS_BITMAP or BS_ICON must not be set, and I should send BM_SETIMAGE.

I have tried that, but it failed.

I work in MS Visual Studio Express 2008, on Windows XP, in C++, using WIN32 API. If any other information is required ( source code or something similar ), please ask for it, I will more than gladly supply it.
