For painting the bitmap into your static, use

CPaintDC dc(this);
CDC MemDc;
CRect rcClient;
GetClientRect(&rcClient);
MemDc.CreateCompatibleDC(this->GetDC());
CBitmap* pMemBitmap = MemDc.SelectObject(&m_Bitmap); //m_Bitmap is the handle to your bitmap
if (pMemBitmap)
   dc.BitBlt(0, 0, rcClient.right, rcClient.bottom, &MemDc, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);
MemDc.SelectObject(pMemBitmap);

Sorry cant help you with the scrollbar thing... hope this helps. - tareq
