showing bitmaps on full screen

[Zegrin]

I want to show bitmaps in fullscreen mode not in a window and i have no idea how to do it . I tried to do it in many ways but nothig seems to work fine . I'm not using DirectX. The program is dialog-based so dialog boxes must apear on this bitmap :confused:

full screen but dialog boxes must appear on it? i dont understand what exactly you want then.

to do a full screen thing then create a window over the entire desktop and use BitBlt in that window's WM_PAINT message handler.

WS_EX_TOPMOST is the style you could set on a window if you truely want it fullscreen and nothing in front. if you elaborated a bit more i'm sure we could help more effectively

I mean that i don't want the titlebar and the border of the main window to be visible - only my bitmap image.
