[kenneth6]

Suppose we have:
0 0 0 0
0 1 1 0
0 1 1 0
0 0 0 0
How can I display these pixels value on the dialog screen to be black/white picture like this??

Yes you can use GDI functions to draw images to the screen. That is what GDI is for. You want to look at brushes, pens, rectangles, regions and filled shapes.

I am newbie. I am frustrated. Which function I should use in GDI to draw the values in 2D array to DC in window dialog ??

Did you look at the site I identified for you? Did you click on the filled shapes section? In that section it shows the code for creating a sample application. In windows all drawing to the device context is done in the WM_PAINT message handler. So if you look in there you will see that there is a method called Rectangle(...). I'd say that, that method is a pretty good place to start.

If you are a n00b, GDI may not be the place to start for you. It is difficult to get it to do what you want. Try console output first and print ones and zeros, then you can modify your application to use █ and whitespace if you want. Then you can try building a win32 application to support that drawing. But keep in mind building a win32 program goes from 1 class and about 100 lines of code to 2 or more classes and about 800-1000+ lines of code.
