GDI+ how to erase the old image and to draw new image for the image-based button?

Igor-84 asked:

Open original thread
I'm trying to draw a button based on the images. The button should have 3 pictures:
- 1.png - normal state,
- 2.png - mouse hover state,
- 3.png - mouse down state.
Also in the handler for WM_MOUSEMOVE I set _TrackMouseEvent.

Ok. To do that I write the following code in the window procedure:
- For the normal button state:
C#
case WM_PAINT:
{
    PAINTSTRUCT ps;
    BeginPaint(hwnd, &ps);
    Gdiplus::Graphics  *normal_state = new Gdiplus::Graphics(ps.hdc);
    Image *img = new Image(L"d:/images/1.png",false);
    normal_state->DrawImage(img,5,5);
    delete img;
    delete normal_state;
    EndPaint(hwnd, &ps);
}

It works perfectly.
And now I'm trying to to make realization for mouse hover state:
C#
case WM_MOUSEHOVER:
{
    PAINTSTRUCT ps;
    BeginPaint(hwnd,&ps);
    Gdiplus::Graphics *mousehover_state = new Gdiplus::Graphics(ps.hdc);
    Image *img = new Image(L"d:/images/2.png",false);
    mousehover_state->DrawImage(img,5,5);
    delete img;
    delete mousehover_state;
    EndPaint(hwnd,&ps);
}

But in the final result WM_MOUSEHOVER fired, but the new picture is not drawn - this is a problem number 1.
Problem number 2 - how to erase the image of the old button state before the painting image for new button state?
Thanks!
