Help with drawing windows.

[lemming999]

I created a dialog box with two buttons and various text boxes that I can edit. I have figured out how to draw to the dialog box but it is messy. How can i set the background of the dialog box, would approaching this a different way be better such as using something besides a dialogBox

Thanks

the code I have so far in the dialog procedure is

LRESULT CALLBACK Graph(HWND hDlg, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{

HDC hdc;
PAINTSTRUCT ps;
int array[4] = {100,10,10,0};


switch (message)
{

case WM_CREATE:

hdc = GetDC (hDlg);
return 0;

case WM_INITDIALOG:
return TRUE;


case WM_PAINT:

hdc = BeginPaint(hDlg, &ps);
SetDlgItemInt(hDlg,IDC_stat,20,FALSE);
RECT rt;

EndPaint(hDlg, &ps);
break;

case WM_COMMAND:

if (LOWORD(wParam) == IDCANCEL)
{
SetDlgItemText(hDlg,IDC_g1,"hello"
EndDialog(hDlg, LOWORD(wParam));
return TRUE;
}


break;
}
return FALSE;
}
