Selecting a bitmap to a DC 1

[Sen7inel]

If I get a DC from a window, create a compatible memory-resident DC, create a compatible bitmap for this memory DC, put up some data in the bitmap, select this bitmap into memory DC and then bitblt the memory DC to the window DC, it displays the bitmap. Ok, now, is it somehow possible to do this without using the memory DC?

Using a memory DC is the best way to copy a bitmap into a window. You could avoid using the memory DC, and copy the bitmap pixels into the window individually using the SetPixel function, but I don't see what advantage that would have, doing the same thing but not as efficiently.
