The simplest way of doing what you are trying to do (as far as I know) is to simply create a child window the size of the bitmap, place the bitmap on it, and place it wherever you want in the parent. The window procedure for this child will not respond to clicks, etc....

Now, as for anything you draw behind this parented window, well that''s the real trick. The parent logic can become quite difficult if you have to take precautions about not placing anything there. Otherwise just place away, and not see it.
