I searched a lot over internet but could not find a satisfying answer. I tried all tricks but it did not work.

    A graphics library is needed. The old way in C was to use Turbo C and the graphics.h library that supported drawing.For Visual Studio, there is Win32, C++, and GDI as this youtube video points out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmSuwojt3nw, but it is not C. GTK and IUP are a couple of graphical libraries that work with C.

    There are several ways (GDI, GDI+, Direct2D, ...)

    In GDI, it can be done with : LineTo function,
    in WM_PAINT of a window or control
