I am jumping in to the deep end of windows programming by trying to write a version of xroach for windows. xroach is a roach/dirty apartment simulator for X windows. The basic idea is that the windows are hiding places and the background is the counter. When ever you move a hiding place the roaches hiding under that window scurry around the background until they find another hiding place. It's quite entertaining and brings back fond memories of college :-) So, I have a problem. I have BC++ and the SDK documentation from microsoft and have easily gotten a program to pop up a window and then display a roach looking bitmap within that window. Close, but not quite. I want those roaches on the background. I looks like an icon could do that and there is a program called cpuuse which changes an icon dynamically so that might work, but can I move those icons around on their own? So, the net problem (no pun intended) is that I want to move a bitmap/icon/what ever around the background. Is it possible? How do I do it?
