Win32 and Bitmaps

Hia! I have just started out with Win32 Programming. Ok, I'm stuck on loading bitmaps with GDI. This is how the function for drawing bitmaps looks: ------------------------------------------------------------- int DrawBitmapResource(HDC hDestDC, int xDest, int yDest, int nResID) { HBITMAP hBitmap; HDC hSrcDC; BITMAP bmp; int nWidth, nHeight; if((hBitmap = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(nResID), IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_CREATEDIBSECTION)) == NULL) return(FALSE); if((hSrcDC = CreateCompatibleDC(NULL)) == NULL) return(FALSE); if(SelectObject(hSrcDC, hBitmap) == NULL) return(FALSE); if(GetObject(hBitmap, sizeof(BITMAP), &bmp)) return(FALSE); nWidth = bmp.bmWidth; nHeight = bmp.bmHeight; if(BitBlt(hDestDC, xDest, yDest, nWidth, nHeight, hSrcDC, 0, 0, SRCCOPY) == NULL) return(FALSE); DeleteDC(hSrcDC); return(TRUE); } ------------------------------------------------------------- and this is how I call for the function: ------------------------------------------------------------- DrawBitmapResource(hMainDC, 0, 0, 1002); ------------------------------------------------------------- hMainDC //a Device Context for the main window hInstance //handle to the main window 1002 //resource id for my bmp picture the problem is that when I try this, no errors occure... but the bitmap isn't shown either! (black screen is shown) Could someone tell me what I have made wrong? THX! [edited by - FxMazter on December 19, 2002 12:42:58 PM]
