    Well the api's for displaying a bitmap are LoadImage or LoadIcon to get a handle to a loaded an icon and DrawIcon using the handle and x,y coordinates and a handle to a device context.

    The WM_KEYDOWN message is posted to the window with keyboard focus when a nonsystem (no alt key) key is pressed.

    For me to make any heads or tells of windows programming I had to read Charles Petzold "Programming Windows 95", you can get used copies at Amazon.com. Having said that, I would recommend Petzold's "Programming Windows fifth edition", its more complete .
