    Hi

    I want to draw directly to the desktop window. I have got the DC of the window and used that in conjunction with BitBlt to do the drawing. BitBlt returns 1. I also called the paintdesktop function assuming it does a refresh? However there is no picture on the desktop.

    Can anyone help

    Cheers m8's

    If I were trying to accomplish what you want I would take a form, maximize it and use BitBlt to copy an image of the desktop to the form and then just draw on the form. Vb-World has a "tip" concerning how to copy the desktop image -
