Help needed from GDI(+) guru

Postby P3rv3rt B3ar on Sat Nov 08, 2008 4:13 pm

Im having problem to render text over Bitmap class from GDI+... I would suppose i need a DC for that beast to type on with TextOut, but its not clear to me how to get it. Data is originally as byte array, which i wrap into this Bitmap container for easy saving to a file, so aproaches which perform magic directly to array or its derivates are also welcome as long as results are easyly wrappable into Bitmap again. Language is C++ and IDE is MSVC 2005.

Can u tell i skipped few classes of GUI coding :lol:
