Thanks Robert. Like usual, there are several approaches. Noticed it is also possible to use:

dim as HIViewContentInfo  hivcontent
dim as CFURLRef           fileUrl

fileUrl = fn CFBundleCopyResourceURL( fn CFBundleGetMainBundle(), @"some.jpg", 0, 0 )
hivcontent.contentType = _kHIViewContentImageFile
hivcontent.u.imageFile = fileUrl
err = fn HIViewSetImageContent( imageView, _kHIViewEntireView, hivcontent )

this would be after creating an empty image view with: fn HIImageViewCreate ( NULL, imageView )

Thanks to RC for his comments too.
