Can you set a background bitmap in a window as in a dialogbox?
what are the differences?
Windows itself doesn’t make any direct provision for either one, so I guess to that extent, they’re identical. The obvious difference is that in a normal window, it’s quite normal for you to draw a bitmap into the background, but in a dialog you should normally only use controls.
To set a background bitmap in a Window, you normally draw that bitmap in response to
WM_ERASEBKGND(and return TRUE to keep Windows from erasing the background itself).
