I am currently attempting to skin my main window. I have created a function that checks the mouse pos coord. and if within a certain specified region it will do the coded task.. In this case would be to bitblt. I attempted to simply bitblt the picture to the form on the wm_lbuttondown message but the picture doesn't show up. I then put the exact same code in the WM_PAINT and the pic showed fine. What do i have to do to make the pic actually show up once i've bitblt it to the form on the wm_lbuttondown message ?? do i actually have to tell WM_PAINT what picture is showing and then act accordingly ?? or is there an easier way ?? I am not using any skinning controls nor will, i am using pure API to accomplish this so please don't give me code of MFC or tell me to use MFC, MFC is evil in my opinion.

Thanx,
AAG
