Draw text on bitmap splash screen (MFC) - mfc

Question

I am trying to draw text on a simple splash screen that displays a bitmap and nothing else. Below is my code. The bitmap displays properly but no text. What am I doing wrong?
I am required to add some more "details" before posting because this is mostly code: I am not sure where the author got this example. I can't find an example of drawing text on a bitmap that fits the way this is done, so need some help.
Thanks

Splash1.Hide;

Move the call to UpdateWindow(hSplashWnd); to after your GetDC(..)
The WM_PAINT message gets your bitmap drawn, and then you want to draw your text after that.
HDC hdc = GetDC(hSplashWnd);
UpdateWindow(hSplashWnd);
wchar_t * text = L"HELLO";
//SelectObject(hdc, brush);
SetTextColor(hdc, RGB( 0, 255, 0 ) );
DrawText(hdc, text, 200, &rect, DT_SINGLELINE | DT_LEFT); //DT_CENTER | DT_VCENTER );
ShowWindow(hSplashWnd,SW_SHOWNORMAL);
