I’m creating a GDI window that contains a background image, along with some static text (with transparent background) on top of the image. I want the text to display different messages at different times.
To get the transparent background working, I’ve intercepted the WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC message in the WndProc to set the background color to transparent and return NULL_BRUSH like so

I am trying to recreate a 1996 program, that barely anyone knows. It is called Identibacter Interactus. I am using C++ and Gdiplus to recreate it, and it was originally created with Macromedia Director 5. Currently, I am trying to get the title page, and the about page with the credits to work. The issue is I get the image to display, and if I minimize the window, or rescale it, the image goes away.

I am using GDI+ to print an image to A4-size paper, but the printed image gets cropped. I’ve looked through the DrawImage function documentation, but I can’t seem to achieve perfect printing on every device. Are there any parameters that I might have overlooked?

I’m trying to draw a rounded rectangle with anti-aliased corners, however the entire rectangle is being aliased, resulting in blured edges of the rectangle. I’d like to only have the rounded corners anti-aliased, keeping the sides of the rectangle well defined.

I am trying to remove flicker from my bitmap animation in GDI. It is a rainbow animation. The animation animates smoothly but the bitmap buttons flicker.
