Hi,

Does anyone know how to blit a bitmap onto a dialog box? Sounds like a simple
procedure, so I am sure I am missing something elementary...

Given a bitmap referenced in the RC file, I load this bitmap during program
initialisation, and store the handle in a global variable.

During processing of the WM_INITDLG message, I get a DC for the dialog, select
the bitmap into a memory DC and try and blit the bitmap to the dialog. No joy.

I try creating a child window on the dialog (type STATIC, with a WHITEFRAME)
and try and get a DC to this before blitting the bitmap. No joy.

I try turning the bitmap into a brush, and drawing a rectangle on the dialog
using this brush. Again, no joy.

I must be missing something fairly obvious, but I'm not sure what it is 
(obviously). For those who have seen it, the effect I am trying to duplicate
is the "Help about" box for WinWord 2, with an oversized icon in the top left
corner.

Any takers?
