graphic dissapeared

I have this code in my WM_PAINT method

Code:

---

hDC = BeginPaint(hWnd, &ps) ;

                        GetClientRect(hWnd, &rect) ;

                        hBitmap = LoadBitmap(ghInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_BITMAP1));

                        GetObject(hBitmap, sizeof(BITMAP), &bm);

                        hMemDC = CreateCompatibleDC(hDC);
                        SelectObject(hMemDC, hBitmap);

                        BitBlt(hDC, 0, 0, bm.bmWidth, bm.bmHeight, hMemDC, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);

                        DeleteDC(hMemDC);

                        EndPaint(hWnd, &ps);
                        DeleteObject(hBitmap);

If I have no controls on the form it shows up, otherwise it's not there......whats wrong :confused:

Can you please post the whole source code?

for the whole program???????? its big......

I'll just put what has to do with the pic

Code:

---

HINSTANCE ghInst;  //used for picture
LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hWnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) {
        HDC hDC, hMemDC; // }
        HBITMAP hBitmap; // }
        BITMAP bm;      // } graphics stuff
        PAINTSTRUCT ps;  // }
        RECT rect;      // }

        switch(uMsg) {
                case WM_CLOSE:
                        DestroyWindow(ghWnd_Main); // Destroy the main window
                        return 0;

                case WM_DESTROY:
                        PostQuitMessage(0); // Quit the application
                        return 0;

                case WM_PAINT:  //updates the pic everytime needed
                        hDC = BeginPaint(hWnd, &ps) ;

                        GetClientRect(hWnd, &rect) ;

                        hBitmap = LoadBitmap(ghInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_BITMAP1));

                        GetObject(hBitmap, sizeof(BITMAP), &bm);

                        hMemDC = CreateCompatibleDC(hDC);
                        SelectObject(hMemDC, hBitmap);

                        BitBlt(hDC, 0, 0, bm.bmWidth, bm.bmHeight, hMemDC, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);

                        DeleteDC(hMemDC);

                        EndPaint(hWnd, &ps);
                        DeleteObject(hBitmap);
                        return 0;
}

Try moving your HBITMAP to be global, and then move the DeleteObject to some where where it is not destroyed on the paint like WM_CLOSE.

If this doesn't work, please .zip you whole project and post.
