If LoadBitmap() fails call GetLastError() to know the reason for the error.

Loading a bitmap from file (especially by a dynamic library) is a bad idea because you have to hard code the path to the file. For this reason I expect the error code to be 2 (ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).

A better solution would be including the bitmap as resource in the DLL.
