Really basic Win32 question

How would I make the whole inside of my window show a image, and do it as soon as the window opens?

Hi,

Obviously there are resources floating around internet every where. It is matter of where you look.

The Code to show a image although this can be easily change to cover the whole Window. It needs few minor adjustments.

LRESULT CALLBACK Loginpage (HWND hwnd , UINT msg , WPARAM wParam , LPARAM lParam)
{
	switch(msg)
	{
		PAINTSTRUCT ps;
	HDC hdc;
	HDC compatible_bitmap_hdc;
	HBITMAP bitmap;
	
	case WM_PAINT:
		hdc = BeginPaint(hwnd, &ps);

		bitmap = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(NULL, "Skynet Logo.bmp", IMAGE_BITMAP,0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE);

		compatible_bitmap_hdc = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc);
		SelectObject(compatible_bitmap_hdc, bitmap);

		SetStretchBltMode(hdc, HALFTONE);
		StretchBlt(hdc,400, 0, 397, 300, compatible_bitmap_hdc, 0, 0, 640, 480, SRCCOPY);

		
		DeleteDC(compatible_bitmap_hdc);
		DeleteObject(bitmap);

		EndPaint(hwnd, &ps);

		break;
