Keeping stuff on the screen

Im using setpixel, but it dissapears every time something moves over it, is there a way to make it stay?

Call your drawing code everytime the application recieves a WM_PAINT message.

thanks that works.....but now It is setting pixels outside of my program!!!!!!

case WM_PAINT:
                                                                HDC myDC = GetDC(ghWnd_Main);
COLORREF color = RGB(50,50,50); // Create the color green
				color = RGB(255,255,255);
				for(i=1; i<=200; i++)  {
						SetPixel(myDC,i,200,color); // Plot the pixel
				}
			return 0;

perhaps you validate the handle first?

case WM_PAINT:

if (hWnd == ghWnd_Main)
{
    HDC myDC = GetDC(ghWnd_Main);
    COLORREF color = RGB(50,50,50); // Create the color green
    color = RGB(255,255,255);
    for(i=1; i<=200; i++)
    {
        SetPixel(myDC,i,200,color); // Plot the pixel
    }
}

return 0;
