RE: [Dev-C++] display bitmap

[Graeme F. <gr...@dr...>]

A couple of points

BeginPaint() should only be used in the WM_PAINT because the paint message
is triggered by an invalid region and so BeginPaint only allows you to paint
in the invalid region - it also validates the invalid region for you. You
should be able to check this by looking at the rcPaint field returned in the
PaintStructure - that is a RECT of the invalid region.

Secondly you can also try the LoadBitmap function to load a bitmap from a
file mentioned in a resource file. Slightly easier than loadImage.
