Hello.
I'm trying to get the path to the .exe, and add "bg.jpg" to the array to display the image that's in the same Path as the .exe...didn't work so far >.>
Any hints?:) thanks ahead.

BOOL ImageBox_SetImage(HWND hwndImageBox, LPCTSTR szImagePath)
{
	LVBKIMAGE lv = { 0 };

	lv.ulFlags =  LVBKIF_STYLE_NORMAL | LVBKIF_SOURCE_URL;
	lv.pszImage = (LPTSTR) szImagePath;

	return ListView_SetBkImage(hwndImageBox, &lv); 
}

// header and library, for gcc is different
#include <shlwapi.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "shlwapi.lib");

        TCHAR PathBuffer [MAX_PATH];
	GetModuleFileName(NULL, PathBuffer, MAX_PATH);
	PathRemoveFileSpec(PathBuffer);
	_tcscat(PathBuffer, TEXT("\\bg.jpg"));

// and then ...
     
ImageBox_SetImage(hwndImage, PathBuffer);
