Kevin, 

A solution is to make an edit control that has only a black frame or a
white frame. The size of this control is the size in pixels of the 
bitmap. In your InitDialog function you get the handle of this control
using a call to getItemHandle() and than a call to GetDC to get DC to
this control. Now you can use Bitblt() or Stretchblt() to paint the bitmap
in the dialog. This is the way that is used in PaintBrush when you set
the custom colors. They dynamiccally update the resulting color using the
same method.
If the dialog can be covered by another window you must process the
WM_PAINT also for the dialog in the same manner.

It works for me, I hope it will work for you to.
