You found the solution.

If you have non-text stuff you want to draw on a dialog, create a
user-defined control -- this is _not_ that hard,  and I have a sample
kicking around (animated icon control) kicking around if someone wants it.

In the resource file,  the control is defined with the name of the window
class as a parameter.  In your code,  you WinRegisterClass() the class, 
and get the WM_CREATE when the dialog is created,  and any other message
(WM_PAINT,  for example) when required.  Your code never has to know that
it was called by a dialog -- it could have been called by WinCreateWindow()
for all it cares.
