You really can't do that in MFC or at least not using any MFC commands because the windows you are trying to draw on don't belong to MFC Smile | :)

You can use WIN32 API commands to draw on the desktop like this
/* Get the DC of the desktop  */
HDC hDC_Desktop = GetDC(0);

/* Draw a simple blue rectangle on the desktop */
RECT rect = { 0, 0, 200, 200 };
HBRUSH blueBrush=CreateSolidBrush(RGB(0,0,255));
FillRect(hDC_Desktop, &rect, blueBrush);

Your drawing wont stay there very long or be refreshed however Smile | :)

To make anything permanent on the desktop you need to subclass the desktop handler and it's paint message and that requires a lot more knowledge.

I suspect you are going to tell us more about what you are trying to do.
