How to use DrawDibDraw

[ulillillia]

I'm trying to learn programming and I've got quite far so far, but I've run
into a few problems, the main ones involving DrawDibDraw. First, 12 bytes
seem to be missing from "bitmapinfoheader" that I see in the hex edittor.
Second, I'm puzzled about the difference with the Dst and Src values and what
they're for. Below my code is where my issues are explained in better detail.

These are my issues:
1. While reading from the BMP file, there seems to be an extra 12 bytes in
the file, as seen in my hex edittor (XVI32). The location of the missing
bytes is commented where it is found. I saved the 24-bit uncompressed BMP
file with "The GIMP".
2. I don't know if I set up the DrawDibDraw function properly, the pointers
and handles especially. I'm still confused about the Dst and Src values.
3. I want the interior part of the window to be 640x480, which excludes
borders, menus, and the title bar. I don't have any menus at the moment
though. I also want the window itself to be centered. The method I have works
fine, but seems awfully complicated so I'm wondering if there's a better way.
4. Without the bitmap reading stuff, my program is using 100% of the CPU
when all other windows programs barely use any of the CPU. Why is this and
how do I fix it? I suspect it has something to do with the while loop in the
WinMain function.

1. While reading from the BMP file, there seems to be an extra 12 bytes in

the file, as seen in my hex edittor (XVI32). The location of the missing
bytes is commented where it is found. I saved the 24-bit uncompressed BMP
file with "The GIMP".

It is not "extra". It is the BITMAPFILEHEADER structure.

2. I don't know if I set up the DrawDibDraw function properly, the
pointers
and handles especially. I'm still confused about the Dst and Src values.

The Src refers to a rectangle that defines that portion of your bitmap that
you wish to render.
You may choose the entire bitmap or part of the bitmap to render(e.g., crop
your bitmap).

The Dst refers to a rectangle that defines that portion of your window that
you wish to render to.
Again, you may choose to render to the entire window or some part of the
window.

The DrawDibDraw API is antiquated. However, there are many examples
included in the Platform SDK and/or online at MSDN's website.

You may wish to investigate the gdiplus API. It allows your to load and
draw a bitmap with a few lines of code.
