You need to do it in response to the WM_PAINT message, where you have full control of what is drawn in the window. The WM_SETTEXT message merely sends some text to be managed by the paint handler.

Yes. Although it may be better to create your fonts elsewhere at the beginning of your application. It all depends on the actual usage.

Then you need to do one of the following:
1. Add scrollbars to allow the content of the Window to be moved.
2. Resize the Window (with the MoveWindow function) to make it big enough to show all the content. Note, in this case make sure the Window does not get too big for its parent.
