I'm trying to load a png to my button, but it's not showing the png in my button.

I create my button with this function:

HWND MyControls::CreateButton(LPCTSTR text, int x, int y, int w, int h, HMENU id, HWND hwnd, HINSTANCE hInst, bool png){
    if (png){
        return CreateWindow("BUTTON", text, BS_BITMAP | WS_TABSTOP | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON,
            x, y, w, h, hwnd, id, hInst, NULL);
    }
    else{
        return CreateWindow("BUTTON", text, WS_TABSTOP | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON,
            x, y, w, h, hwnd, id, hInst, NULL);
    }   
}

Add Png to button (WM_CREATE):

void MyControls::AddPngBtn(HWND hwnd, const WCHAR* fileName){
    Bitmap bmp(fileName);
    HBITMAP tBmp;
    bmp.GetHBITMAP(Color(0, 0, 0, 0), &tBmp);
    SendMessage(hwnd, STM_SETIMAGE, IMAGE_BITMAP, (LPARAM)tBmp);
    ShowWindow(hwnd, SW_SHOW);
    DeleteObject(tBmp);
}

how i initialize GDI+:

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, PSTR szCmdLine, int iCmdShow){
    UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER(hPrevInstance);
    UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER(szCmdLine);
    UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER(iCmdShow);

    GdiplusStartupInput gdiplusStartupInput;
    ULONG_PTR gdiplusToken;
    GdiplusStartup(&gdiplusToken, &gdiplusStartupInput, NULL);

    if (!Wnd.RegClassEx(hInstance)) return 0;
    if (!Wnd.CreateMyWindow(hInstance)) return 0;

    GdiplusShutdown(gdiplusToken);

    return Wnd.MyMsg();
}

The LPARAM is not NULL;
My button size: 25x25;
My png size: 24x24;
And i don't have a error in the "Error List".

What i should do, or what am i doing wrong?
