Chris:
    Did you try:

    create a RECT structure.
    
    Desk_handle = GetDeskTop()
    GetClientArea(Desk_handle, address_of_RECT)

  Then:

  DC = GetDC( hWnd )
  hMemDC = CreateCompatibleDC( hDC ) 
  hBckgrdBitmap = CreateCompatibleBitmap( hDC, rect.right,
                                             rect.bottom )
  SelectObject( hMemDC, hBckgrdBitmap )
  BitBlt( hMemDC, 0, 0, rect.right, rect.bottom, hDC, 0, 0, SRCCOPY )
  DeleteDC( hMemDC )
  ReleaseDC( hWnd, hDC )
