I think this way is easier:

//button must have 'Bitmap' property set to true
CButton* pButton = (CButton*)GetDlgItem(IDC_VIEWSCAPS);
ASSERT(pButton);
if(pButton)
{
	VERIFY(m_bmpBSBitmap.LoadBitmap(IDB_ADD));
	HBITMAP hbmp = (HBITMAP)m_bmpBSBitmap.GetSafeHandle();
	pButton->SetBitmap(hbmp);
}

IDB_ADD is replaced with bitmap resource id
IDC_VIEWSCAPS is replaced with button resource id

make sure you set 'bitmap' property for the button to true

You can simply use the below formula
Gray = (r*11 + g*16 + b*5)/32.

Get every Pixel and set it colors with the help of this formula.
I hope u get the basic !!!

Upcasting &amp; Downcasting naming jargon ?

Well I am a little confused with naming jargon of casting.
My intended goal was:
CBase* pBase = static_cast<CBase*>(derived);

What is it called upcasting/downcasting ?

The below articles says it is upcasting:
http://www.codeproject.com/managedcpp/castingbasics.asp

While in MSDN they interpret as downcasting:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_mfc_static_downcast.asp

Which one is correct ?

Look at the class-hierarchy as an upside-down piramide.
When you cast to a base-class you cast down in the hierarchy -> downcast
When you cast to a derived class you cast up in the hierarchy -> upcast.

Hope this clears it up somewhat for you...

I agree with that, but different ppl should not have different way of representing a inheritance.

base
^
|
Derived

Microsoft always follows this notation in their documentation, so upcasting should have been the rite notation to use.

yeah, you're right about that. I think the people writing those documents had problems with the concept of an upside-down piramide.

But I still have to disagree with your definition of down-cast / up-cast...

Here's another analogy (a better one perhaps?)->look at it as a tree (but only the part from the ground and up, skip the roots);).
the base-class is the trunk and all derived classes are the branches. Like a family tree.

I see an up-cast as an upgrade -> extra functionality, more specific so from base to derived class.
a down-cast is down-grade-> less functionality, more general handling so from derived to base class.

I agree with your analogy, but microsoft should follow the standard notation used for derivation IMHO Smile | :)

I guess the msdn documentation is wrong.

upcasting - derived to base
downcasting - base to derived

Let me mention the MSDN have not explicitly called it downcasting or even upcasting. Its the name STATIC_DOWNCAST which I thought implies downcasting but its for upcasting. So plz ppl dont get confused nor blame/curse MSDN. It may/may not be my fault or my understanding's fault. But one thing is clear the name jargon of STATIC_DOWNCAST for upcasting produces confusion.

Read the documentation properly.

STATIC_DOWNCAST(class_name, pobject )
pobject must either be NULL, or point to an object of a class which is derived directly, or indirectly, from class_name.

So they are refering to upcasting but they have documented it as downcast but then i could not find a STATIC_UPCAST macro either.

and also this macro is part of the MFC framework.

What I know upcasting downcasting is related to dynamic_cast
not static_cast for this at least one virtual function must be present
