1. Create a Screen compatible bitmap the right size to hold you BMP (CreateCompatib leBitmap)
2. Create a screen compatible DC (device context) (CreateCompatib leDC)
3. Select the bitmap created in 1 into the device context (SelectObject)
4. Load the bitmap created in 1 with the data from your bitmap file (CreateDIBitmap ) or from a resource in you executable (LoadBitmap)
5. You can then copy the bitmap between the DC created in 2 and a screen DC.

The names in brakets are function names which you can look up in you help files or Windows reference or on the MSDN website.

Copying from one dc to another is achieved using the function BitBlt.
