   I am using MSC++ 7.00, and I read a 512x512x256 bitmap from a VIGA
   frame grabber, and return two things:
       HGLOBAL hBitmapBits;    (This is really a BYTE FAR BitmapBits[512*512])
       HGLOBAL hBitmapPalette; (This is really a RGBQUAD FAR Palette[256] )
   Now, how do I display this in my  ONPAINT routine?

   I get the DC for the window like this:
       CPaintDC dc( this );
   Then, normally, you would use dc.StretchBlt to display the Bitmap.
   But, this doesn't work because it needs a "CDC *pSrcDC", which I
   don't have.  [Q: So, where do I get it?] 
   
   So, it looks like I need to use the StretchDIBits
   routine, which is normal C, but I don't have the required HDC 
   [QUESTION:How do I get the HDC from the CDC class?], and
   I can't figure out how to put my palette values into the 
   BITMAPINFO structure.  The struct contains RGBQUAD bmiColors[1], and
   it seems I need RGBQUAD bmiColors[256]. [QUESTION: How do I do this?]

   Thanks a lot for all help!
