How can i put icon on button in c++?

I have a window and there is a button on it. I want to put a icon of question mark on that button,how can i do this??

To create button:-

HWND button = CreateWindow(TEXT("button"), NULL,
            WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | BS_ICON, 20, 50, 200, 25,
            hWnd, NULL, NULL, NULL);

To load question mark icon:-

HICON hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_QUESTION);

To put the icon on button:-

SendMessage(button, WM_SETICON, IMAGE_ICON, (LPARAM)hIcon);

But icon is not appearing on button.

You are using the wrong message to set the icon to the button. You need to use BM_SETIMAGE.
