LoadImage is not working with MAKEINTRESOURCE

Question

Hello there! I am trying to load an image from the resources here's my code which is not working:

the resource.h:

#define IDB_BITMAP1                     103

the main source code:

HANDLE  start_img = LoadImage(NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(103), IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_DEFAULTSIZE);

if (start_img == NULL)
{
    return 0;
}

However, the file path instead of MAKEINTRESOURCE is working. Here's the code:

HANDLE  start_img = LoadImage(NULL, L"C:\\Users\\_resun\\Desktop\\play.bmp", IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_DEFAULTSIZE | LR_LOADFROMFILE);

can someone please help me?

Thank you.

Use :

 HANDLE  start_img = LoadImage(GetModuleHandle(0), MAKEINTRESOURCE(103), IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_DEFAULTSIZE);
