To Display Bitmap & Icon in a single picture ctrl

Hi All,
How can we display a bitmap & icon in a single picture
control at different time.

We can display a bitmap in a picture ctrl by setting its "type"
property to BITMAP. Similarly Icon can also be displayed.

But can we change this "type" property at run time.
i.e. from Icon to Bitmap & vice versa.

I called the ModifyStyleEx(). Eventhough this functionis returning success, Bitmaps and Icons ae not getting inerchanged.

Thanks in Advance

does it show after you hide the window and focus it again?

if so you might have to invalidate your window and therefor force a repaint.

Just try moving your window out of the screen and back and see if the change is then visible.

OnButton1() click , i would call to display Bitmap
and on OnButton2() click i would call to display Icon


Button1()
-------------
m_Picture.ModifyStyleEx( SS_ICON,SS_BITMAP, 0);
m_Picture.SetBitmap( ::LoadBitmap( AfxGetInstanceHandle() , MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_BITMAP1) ) );


Button2()
------------
m_Picture.ModifyStyleEx(SS_BITMAP ,SS_ICON, 0);
m_Picture.SetIcon( ::LoadIcon( AfxGetInstanceHandle() , MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_ICON1) ) );

Thanks
