I've got a struct which contains a HBITMAP and want to be able to access the bitmap by it's handle from the array, but I have not been able to using GetObject in WM_PAINT. The program compiles and runs but won't show the bitmap. Any help is welcome.

I declare the handle to the bitmap at the top of the program and create the struct.

HBITMAP g_hbmChar = NULL;

struct character* current_character;
struct character {

    char name [36];
    char source [36];
    char about [300];
    HBITMAP cBitmap;

    };	

This is the array. I've cut it down for the sake of this example. The last element is supposed to be the bitmap.

struct character characters [13] =
{
    {
       "NAME", "SOURCE", "ABOUT", (HBITMAP)&g_hbmChar
    }

};

I use LoadImage to load the bitmap in WM_CREATE.

g_hbmChar = LoadImage(GetModuleHandle(0), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_CHR1), IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_DEFAULTCOLOR);

Contents of WM_PAINT.

RECT rcClient;
PAINTSTRUCT ps;

HDC hdc = BeginPaint(hWnd, &ps);
HDC HDCMem = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc);

GetClientRect(hWnd, &rcClient);

SelectObject(HDCMem, current_character->cBitmap);
BitBlt(hdc, 364, 26, 150, 190, HDCMem, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);

SelectObject(HDCMem, HDCMem);
DeleteDC(HDCMem);
EndPaint(hWnd, &ps);

Thanks, It works like a charm! Can't believe I didn't see it sooner.
I have a question though. In my array, is it at all possible to do something like g_hbmChar instead of (HBITMAP)&g_hbmChar? Regardless, it does what I need it to do now. ?

Ah, That makes sense. I'll keep it in mind for future reference. Handles are all being taken care of in my full code ? Thank you again for your help and explanations!

Also, there's a line that pretty surely does nothing useful:

SelectObject( HDCMem, HDCMem );

When you SelectObject something the right thing to do is to restore the previous state of the HDC once you're done.
SelectObject returns the previous object of the type you selected into it. So it becomes:

RECT rcClient;
PAINTSTRUCT ps;

HDC hdc = BeginPaint( hWnd, &ps );
HDC HDCMem = CreateCompatibleDC( hdc );

GetClientRect( hWnd, &rcClient );

HBITMAP origBitmap = (HBITMAP)SelectObject( HDCMem, current_character->cBitmap );
BitBlt(hdc, 364, 26, 150, 190, HDCMem, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);

SelectObject( HDCMem, origBitmap );
DeleteDC( HDCMem );
EndPaint( hWnd, &ps );

Thanks for pointing that out. It has since been fixed. ?
