How exactly did you define BACKGROUND and SNAKE?  Are they integers or
strings?  Are you using a .rh header file as well?

Assuming you're calling that from within the application itself, you need to
use the HINSTANCE for the DLL itself, not the application.  Look at
LoadLibrary() in the Win32 API.

GetModuleHandle() will return the instance of the application that loaded
your DLL, not for the DLL itself.

Using TBitmap as in your first sample, the Handle property will contain the
HBITMAP.

That depends, what exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Why not?  You need to be more specific when you say something doesn't work
for you.
