Yes, that is one of the solutions. Blitting from and to Pixmaps (or other
controls) is not the problem. The problem is that you have to create a Pixmap,
and that you can't draw to a bitmap directly. A nice solution would be if you
could wrap the bitmap in a Win32Lib-control, just like you can wrap a
Windows-created control using the subClassControl-function.
