DirectX9 image in overlay

[F4DE]

Hi,
Lately I started with c++ directX9 stuff, and I've created an overlay for my cheat. Now, I want to add an image to the overlay but I have No clue how to add it. So, does anyone know how to show an image on the overlay?

Thanks

Use a sprite and a texture.

References:
IDirect3DTexture9
ID3DXSprite
D3DXCreateTextureFromFile
D3DXCreateSprite

sprite->Begin( D3DXSPRITE_ALPHABLEND /* See D3DXSPRITE */ );
sprite->draw( texture_ptr,  [...] );
sprite->End();

With what should I replace texture_ptr etc?

This the reason why I gave you the links to the function, go figure what texture_ptr might be, the texture of course.

I know, I've got the rest now but I don't understand how to set the path for the texture / how to implement it?
