If I display an empty form and then try to display the already drawn bitmap
using, for example:
WinDrawBitmap((BitmapPtr)FrmGetObjectPtr(frm,FrmGetObjectIndex(frm,FrontBody
Bitmap)),10,10);
I get an "object not in form" error.
If I use a Form Bitmap, that doesn't show at all.
Is there some setup I am missing? or something else I might be doing wrong?

Draw your 6 bitmaps in Constructor, then use WinDrawBitmap to directly draw
them into the screen window. You'll need to be sure to handle
frmUpdateEvents to redraw things, but its a lot easier than relying on the
form manager to draw/undraw everything.
