Size of button in a toolbar - win32 program

Question

I am creating toolbar with my bitmap images, and I have problem with the button size.
this image size is 20/20 pixels.

and I create a toolbar, and set the button size to 20/20 pixels, by this code:

SendMessage(hToolbar, TB_SETBUTTONSIZE, 0, MAKELPARAM(20, 20));

and I set the color scheme to red and green, so the button frame will display clearly when the cursor standing over the button.

and this what I see when cursor standing over the button:

As you can see the button size is not 20 \ 20 pixels, but 26 pixels. so why it happened?

And one more question, is it possible to cancel the highlighting button when the mouse cursor is over it, and instead I will set hot image list (by TB_SETHOTIMAGELIST message), so when the cursor will stand over the button, the hot image will display, without highlighting the button.

and this is the full code:

#include <windows.h> 
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <CommCtrl.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "comctl32.lib")

#define IDB_PRINT 40000

Windows adds padding around the bitmaps. You can programmatically detect how much with the TB_GETPADDING message to the control. In my toolbar creation, I do something like this:

// By default Windows creates the tiles as 22x23, minus the padding area of 6x7, for a bitmap size of 16x16.
    DWORD iSize = SendMessage(hTool, TB_GETBUTTONSIZE, 0, 0);
    DWORD iPadSize = SendMessage(hTool, TB_GETPADDING, 0, 0);

    // Build our bitmap
    int xsize=LOWORD(iSize) - LOWORD(iPadSize);  // width
    int ysize=HIWORD(iSize) - HIWORD(iPadSize);  // height

You can set your own bitmap size with TB_SETBUTTONSIZE, but you still have to allow for the padding.
