    why i can't create a memory HBitmap and draw it?

    heres how i get the console HDC:
    Code:
    //getting the HDC Console Window:
        HDC WindowHDC=GetDC(GetConsoleWindow());
    works fine, because the SetPixel() draw the right pixel.
    heres my actual image class:
    Code:
    class image{
        public:
        BITMAP bitmap;
        HBITMAP hBitmap;
        HDC hdcMem;
        HDC oldBitmap;
    
    
        image()
        {
            hdcMem = CreateCompatibleDC(GetDC(NULL));
            oldBitmap =(HDC) SelectObject(hdcMem, hBitmap);
        }
    
    
        ~image()
        {
            SelectObject(hdcMem, oldBitmap);
            DeleteDC(hdcMem);
        }
    
    
        void FromFile(string strFile)
        {
            hBitmap = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(GetModuleHandle(NULL),
            strFile.c_str(),IMAGE_BITMAP,LR_DEFAULTSIZE,LR_DEFAULTSIZE,LR_LOADFROMFILE);
             oldBitmap =(HDC) SelectObject(hdcMem, hBitmap);
             GetObject(hBitmap, sizeof(bitmap), &bitmap);
    
    
        }
    
    
        void DrawImage(HDC DestinationHDC)
        {
             BitBlt(DestinationHDC, 0, 0, bitmap.bmWidth, bitmap.bmHeight,hdcMem, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);
             //MessageBox(NULL,"error: BITBLT", to_string(GetLastError()).c_str(), MB_OK);
    
    
        }
    };
    see these function:
    Code:
    void FromFile(string strFile)    {
            hBitmap = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(GetModuleHandle(NULL),
            strFile.c_str(),IMAGE_BITMAP,LR_DEFAULTSIZE,LR_DEFAULTSIZE,LR_LOADFROMFILE);
            if(hBitmap==NULL) MessageBox(NULL,"error: BITBLT", to_string(GetLastError()).c_str(), MB_OK);
    i get the message box with '0'(zero).... my question: why the HBitmap is NULL?
