Btw, i have a question about child windows. Does a child window need its own windows procedure, or will it use the procedure of the parent window?

Windows' imaging API:

Windows' 2D rendering API:

Windows' multimedia API:

There's no single function to do what you want. You must load an image, convert it to an appropriate format if necessary, and then use a rendering API to draw it in your window.

It depends what window class you specify when you call CreateWindowEx() because window procedure is a property of the window class. If you're talking about actual windows(not controls) then you could use the same procedure or not.
