assuming the last arguement to winmain is iCmdShow and your HWND is hwnd then after creating the window you need to do this :-
ShowWindow(hwnd,iCmdShow);
UpdateWindow(hwnd);
That will cause your window to be shown on the screen and painted. You will need to take care of the WM_PAINT message in your window procedure.....
If that doesn't work then post your code for more help.
Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!
