Bitmap in MDI child

I know this should be easy but so far no luck :
I have MDI views derived from CScrolView. All I want is to be able to display a bitmap image (loaded from a file, the name of which the view takes from the Doc class at creation) on the view itself. This includes being able to resize the view + scroll ranges for very large images (I know how to resize - not how to get actual image size), and, in the future, be able to trap mouse clicks on the image itself. I tried putting the image on a static control - nothing, comes up empty, I tried drawing it directly on the view, again, nothing. Obviously I'm doing something wrong which is to be expected - I'm new to MFC.
PLEASE help
Thanks all
