i am writing a small sliding block puzzle. I have one main window and 12 smaller windows <br>
contained in the larger window.the 12th window is hidden so that the other windows can slide about.<br>
I want to put a bmp onto the 11 visible windows and have them jumble up..<br>
can any one help<br>
<br>
i would really appreiciate it<br>
thanks<br>

Why not just have one large window which paints all the pieces? Anyway, create 11 DCs with CreateCompatibleDC and load the 11 bitmaps. Or alternatively, create 1 DC and load one big bitmap. Use SelectObject to select one bitmap for every of the DCs that you have created.<br>
When processing the WM_PAINT message for the window, use the BitBlt function to paint the DC in the display DC used for painting.
