There is a sample application called FASTBLT in the Microsoft Software Library that demonstrates how to implement the smooth movement of a bitmap around the screen. Basically, it sets up a pair of BitBlt() calls: one that erases the image and another that redisplays the image. The necessary ROP codes for BitBlt() that should be used are SRCCOPY and SRCINVERT.
