Once you have obtained a bitmap handle, you can use the
function GetBitmapBits() to copy the bits into a buffer you
supply.

I have never tried this, but I suppose you could simply call
DialogBox() from WinMain().  Don't even bother with the
message loop (DialogBox() uses its own), and just return
after the call (assuming this is the behaviour you want).
Oh yes, use GetActiveWindow() to supply the parent window
handle (hWndParent).
