how to get hdc

[diwakar09]

here is the code, i am using vc++

hbm = LoadImage(NULL,"msdn.bmp",IMAGE_BITMAP,80,40,LR_LOADFROMFILE);
		
/*		hdcSrc = GetDC((HWND)hbm);*/
BitBlt(hdc, 0, 0, 80, 40, hdcSrc, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);

i am having the handle to the image but for BitBlt i have to use hdc for this image
GetDC() is only use for handle to the window, i want something simillar to this.

Get the DC of the window using GetDC( )
Then create a compatible DC using CreateCompatibl eDC ( )
Bind the bitmap with the compatible DC using SelectObject ( )
Finally you can Bit Blit between both DCs
