I am making a Win32 application using MS visual C++ 6. My problem is that i can't draw a bitmap resource on to a dialog. Here is a section of what my source code looks like: #include "stdafx.h" #include "resource.h" HINSTANCE hInstance; LRESULT CALLBACK DlgProc(HWND , UINT , WPARAM , LPARAM); LRESULT CALLBACK MainDlgProc(HWND , UINT , WPARAM , LPARAM); LRESULT CALLBACK AbtDlgProc(HWND , UINT , WPARAM , LPARAM); //~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) { DialogBox(NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_PwChk), NULL, (DLGPROC)DlgProc); return 0; } LRESULT CALLBACK DlgProc(HWND hWnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { char szPassword[11]={0}; switch(msg) { case WM_PAINT: { HBITMAP hBitmap = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(hInstance, "IDB_pwTitle", IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_DEFAULTSIZE); HDC hdc = GetDC(hWnd); HDC image_dc = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc); HBITMAP old_hbitmap = (HBITMAP)SelectObject(image_dc, hBitmap); BitBlt(hdc ,10 , 10, 10, 10, image_dc, 0, 0, SRCCOPY); break; } Can any1 tell me when i'm doing wrong? I also use dialog resources and disply them using the DialogBox function, the reson why i don't draw the image onto the dialog resource in the resource editor is because when i do this the images are not displayed in WindowsXP Does any1 have an answer?

Have you left out part of the code? One minor thing, I believe that the break; statement should be outside of the brackets on your case WM_PAINT switch. That's how it's done with borland anyway. Does DialogBox() return a handle in Visual C++? Also there is no message loop at all in your code. The DlgProc callback procedure is probably never being sent any messages at all unless Visual C++ does way more housekeeping for the user that Borland C++ builder does. I also noticed that you have not created an application window, or retreived a handle for it. Does the code you posted compile or run? If so, what do you get when you run the executable?
