CBrush brush,*pOldbrush;
CBitmap bm;
bm.CreateBitmap(8,8,1,1,m_bitsBrush1);
LOGBRUSH logBrush;
logBrush.lbStyle = BS_PATTERN;
logBrush.lbHatch = (int) bm.GetSafeHandle();
logBrush.lbColor = RGB(0,0,0);
brush.CreateBrushIndirect(&logBrush);
int savedc = dc.SaveDC();
pOldbrush=dc.SelectObject(&brush);
dc.SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
dc.SetBkColor(RGB(255,255,255));
dc.Rectangle(&rcNew);
dc.SelectObject(pOldbrush);
brush.DeleteObject();
bm.DeleteObject();
dc.RestoreDC(savedc);
