Call CreateCompatibleBitmap and pass your windows DC to it. Call SelectObject(yourWindowsDC, yourNewBitmap). Then call BitBlt(...) and move your information from your colour buffer (what you transferred over the network) into the destination context. This will blit the bitmap to your window.

Hopefully this is what you want, if not let me know.

It has been awhile since I''ve done Win32 GUI programming so I''m not sure if the above idea will work.
