VC++ MFC Sample: CreateDIBSection, BITMAPINFOHEADER, CreateCompatibleDC, BITMAPINFO

Introduction

This article describes a simple calendar that sits on your desktop. I have created this application to just study about alpha blending, desktop wallpapers, and how a device context can be saved as a bitmap. I am planning to make a more refined version including a time scheduler and reminder also.

Using the code

Points of Interest

SetStretchBltMode(hDC,HALFTONE)

Try out this function, this improves the quality of StretchBlt(). I think with our using this mode, SretchBlt() function cannot give you the required quality if you are dealing with big bitmaps.
