    Smile Displaying Two BitMaps

    I want to display two bitmap files one on top of the other. The ball then the dot on top but not mixed with ball. I want to move the dot over the ball. Prog is in c.

    The problem is that it will only display one bitmap and not the dot bitmap. What did I miss or overlook? Each structor is defined loaded resourced and

    HBITMAP g_hbmBall = NULL; //hbm ball defined as hbitmap check
    HBITMAP g_hbmDot = NULL; //hbm dot defined as hbitmap check

    // more code

    g_hbmBall = LoadBitmap(GetModuleHandle(NULL), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_BALL));
    g_hbmDot = LoadBitmap(GetModuleHandle(NULL),MAKEINTRESOURCE(I DB_DOT));

    // ball and dot loadedbitmap check

    case wm_paint{

    BITMAP bm;
    PAINTSTRUCT ps;



    HDC hdc = BeginPaint(hwnd, &ps);

    HDC hdcMem = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc);
    HBITMAP hbmOld = SelectObject(hdcMem, g_hbmBall);
    BITMAP bm2;
    PAINTSTRUCT ps2;

    HDC hdc2 = BeginPaint(hwnd, &ps2);

    HDC hdcMem2 = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc2);
    HBITMAP hbmOld2 = SelectObject(hdcMem2, g_hbmDot);

    // hdc and dc and mem both created check



    GetObject(g_hbmBall, sizeof(bm), &bm);

    BitBlt(hdc, 0, 0, bm.bmWidth, bm.bmHeight, hdcMem, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);

    SelectObject(hdcMem, hbmOld);
    DeleteDC(hdcMem);
    EndPaint(hwnd, &ps);



    /* insert dot */
    /* BITMAP bm2; */
    /* PAINTSTRUCT ps2; */

    /* HDC hdc2 = BeginPaint(hwnd, &ps2); */

    /* HDC hdcMem2 = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc2); */
    /* HBITMAP hbmOld2 = SelectObject(hdcMem2, g_hbmDot); */

    /* bm2 and ps2 moved up because of compile error declaration is not allowed here in function windproc */
    GetObject(g_hbmDot, sizeof(bm2), &bm2);
    /* bm2 */

    BitBlt(hdc2,524, 224, bm2.bmWidth, bm2.bmHeight, hdcMem2, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);
    // dot moved to side of ball to see if it was over painting
    SelectObject(hdcMem2, hbmOld2);
    DeleteDC(hdcMem2);


    EndPaint(hwnd, &ps2);
    }

    I spent all morning yesterday with this to see if I could get it to work with no results. It compiles with no errors but only displays one bitmap. Then I spent the rest of the day reading everything I could find on BitBlt. It seems no one ever tryed this before lol.
    I did find one function that lets you or two bitmaps but that is not what I want. Yet anyway. Thank You in advance.

    Do not call BeginPaint two times. Instead make 2 compatible DC's and store one bitmap in each. Then just blt from the compatible DC to the main DC and you should be fine.
