Trying to make VMR-9 MixerBitmap & GDI work - c++

Question

I'm attempting to overlay a bitmap on some video. I create a bitmap in memory, then I call SelectObject to select it into a memoryDC, so I can perform a DrawText operation on it.
I'm not getting any results on screen at all - can anyone suggest why?
thanks

// then Sets the bitmap as an alpha bitmap to the VMR9, so that it can be overlayed.

I got this one solved, so if anyone else needs to know how it's done...
