[RESOLVED] STATIC control problems...

I am trying to create a screen shot of a window using C++ API.
I can capture the picture fine, i can save it, I can copy it to the clip board and paste it and it all works fine. But when I try to send it to a static control with SS_BITMAP style set it just shows a gray box.
I can also BitBlt it to the screen.
here is my code:

Code:

---

HWND wnd = FindWindow("Notepad", NULL);
            char title[256];
            GetWindowText(wnd, title, 256);
            printf("Found window '%s'\n", title);
            RECT wndRect;
            GetClientRect(wnd, &wndRect);

            HDC hSource = GetDC(wnd);

            HDC hOut; HBITMAP bOut; //BITMAP iOut;

            hOut = CreateCompatibleDC( GetDC(0) );
            bOut = CreateCompatibleBitmap( GetDC(0), wndRect.right, wndRect.bottom);
            //SelectObject(hOut, bOut);
            typedef BOOL (_stdcall *tPrintWindow)(  HWND, HDC,UINT);

            tPrintWindow pPrintWindow =0;

            HINSTANCE  handle = ::GetModuleHandle("user32.dll");
            if ( handle == 0 )
                handle = ::LoadLibrary("User32.dll");
            if (handle)
                pPrintWindow = (tPrintWindow)::GetProcAddress(handle,"PrintWindow");

            if( pPrintWindow)
                pPrintWindow(wnd,hOut,0 );
            SelectBitmap(hOut, bOut);
            BitBlt(hOut, 0, 0, wndRect.right, wndRect.bottom, hSource, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);

            HDC blah = GetDC(0);
            BitBlt(blah, 0, 0, 100, 100, hOut, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);

            OpenClipboard(NULL);
            EmptyClipboard();
            SetClipboardData(CF_BITMAP, bOut);
            CloseClipboard();
            CreateBMPFile((TCHAR*)"IHateWindows.bmp", CreateBitmapInfoStruct(bOut),                      bOut, hOut);
            DeleteObject((HGDIOBJ)SendMessage(hPict,STM_SETIMAGE,(WPARAM)IMAGE_BITMAP,(LPARAM)bOut));
            printf("end");

Please, someone, Help.

I fixed it turns out I wasn't deleting the HDCs at all.
Heres the new code that works:

Code:

---

case WM_RBUTTONDOWN:{
            HWND wnd = FindWindow("Notepad", NULL);
            //if(wnd==NULL) break;
            char title[256];
            GetWindowText(wnd, title, 256);
            printf("Found window '%s'\n", title);
            SetForegroundWindow(wnd);
            RECT wndRect;
            GetClientRect(wnd, &wndRect);

            HBITMAP hBmpOld;
            HDC hSource = GetDC(wnd);

            HDC hOut; HBITMAP bOut; //BITMAP iOut;
            HDC hdc = GetDC(0) ;
            hOut = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc);
            bOut = CreateCompatibleBitmap( GetDC(0), wndRect.right, wndRect.bottom);
            typedef BOOL (_stdcall *tPrintWindow)(  HWND, HDC,UINT);

            tPrintWindow pPrintWindow =0;

            HINSTANCE  handle = ::GetModuleHandle("user32.dll");
            if ( handle == 0 )
                handle = ::LoadLibrary("User32.dll");
            if (handle)
                pPrintWindow = (tPrintWindow)::GetProcAddress(handle,"PrintWindow");

            if( pPrintWindow)
                pPrintWindow(wnd,hOut,0 );
            SelectBitmap(hOut, bOut);
            BitBlt(hOut, 0, 0, wndRect.right, wndRect.bottom, hSource, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);

            HDC blah = GetDC(0);
            BitBlt(blah, 0, 0, 100, 100, hOut, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);
            ReleaseDC(0,blah);
            SetPixel(hOut, 5, 5, RGB(255, 0, 0));

            DeleteDC(hOut);
            ReleaseDC(0,hdc);
            SendMessage(hPict,STM_SETIMAGE,(WPARAM)IMAGE_BITMAP,(LPARAM)bOut);
            printf(".");
}break;

but now my problem is: if I take a picture of say, the top header of MSDN it show a lot of gray where i think there is transparency in the image on the msdn web page.
so the tabs on the mdn web page are gray.
and if there is a title bar over the capturing window.

Alright Forget it. i got everything fixed.
it wasnt the static control at all.
in case you wanted to follow on my programming blunders:
i got the SelectBitmap and printf window mixed-up.
heres the NEW code that works even if the window is not visible.

Code:

---

            HDC hSource = GetDC(0);
            HDC hOut = CreateCompatibleDC(hSource);
            HBITMAP bOut;
            RECT wndRect;
            GetWindowRect(wnd, &wndRect);
            int height=wndRect.right-wndRect.left;
            int width=wndRect.bottom-wndRect.top;

            bOut = CreateCompatibleBitmap( hSource, height,width);//);
            hBmpOld = SelectBitmap(hOut, bOut);
            typedef BOOL (_stdcall *tPrintWindow)(  HWND, HDC,UINT);

            tPrintWindow pPrintWindow =0;

            HINSTANCE  handle = ::GetModuleHandle("user32.dll");
            if ( handle == 0 )
                handle = ::LoadLibrary("User32.dll");
            if (handle)
                pPrintWindow = (tPrintWindow)::GetProcAddress(handle,"PrintWindow");
            if( pPrintWindow){
                printf("printWindow is declared!\n");
                pPrintWindow(wnd,hOut,0 );
            }
            ReleaseDC(0,hSource);
            memcpy(bOut1,bOut,sizeof(bOut));;
            SendMessage(hPict,STM_SETIMAGE,(WPARAM)IMAGE_BITMAP,(LPARAM)bOut);//
            SelectObject(hOut,hBmpOld);
            DeleteObject(bOut);
            DeleteDC(hOut);
            DeleteObject(hBmpOld);
