I have been trying to display a picture for the ddraw app, and I am using a bmp reader that I got out of a book(big mistake?) it has been hard to initialize the palette and even draw when I converted to windowed mode so now I am trying to just use the windows commands to replace the custom ones in book. I am using the WM_PAINT function, let me list code:

case WM_PAINT:
		hdcClient = BeginPaint(hwnd,&ps);
		hdcWindow = GetWindowDC(hwnd);
		RECT rect;
		GetClientRect(hwnd,&rect);
		rect.left=0; rect.right=SCREEN_WIDTH;
		rect.top=0; rect.bottom=SCREEN_HEIGHT;
		lpPrimary->Blt(&rect,lpBackground,&rect,DDBLT_WAIT,NULL);
		ReleaseDC(hwnd,hdcWindow);
		EndPaint(hwnd,&ps);
		return 0;

I run into a problem when I run this--Is it because I am doing my surfaces wrong? I have an lpPrimary, and an lpSecondary--lpBackground would be my background surface which I would assume just gets blitted to the secondary then from secondary to primary to be drawn...with page flipping, it''s fine, but with windowed it gets confusing
