Pass NULL to ::GetDC function (retrieve the DC for the entire screen).

I've not done that, but is that really what you want to do?

What happens when the desktop (or portions of it) are invalidated, and a paint response is called for the desktop - your code won't be called for that, will it?

What you may prefer is to use a window that has no frame, and a transparent background, upon which you draw your artwork, and that is always underneath everything else.
