No, as shown in the documentation at GetDC function (winuser.h) - Win32 apps | Microsoft Docs[^]:
Quote: The GetDC function retrieves a handle to a device context (DC) for the client area of a specified window or for the entire screen. You can use the returned handle in subsequent GDI functions to draw in the DC. The device context is an opaque data structure, whose values are used internally by GDI.
You need to save other information that you use to create the drawing.

Mircea provided an example that will work for me
thanks

Yes. However in this example the bitmap is saved into the file, and not the memory or some other DC (device context)!

This kind of thing is usually posted as a question. On the menu bar just under the site banner, click on quick answers/Ask a Question.
However, "doesn't seem to be working as intended" tells us nothing about what your code is trying to do, and no one is going to waste time trying to guess. You have to provide more details if you want an answer.

Ship input () {
Ship S= { 0 };
cin.ignore();
cout << "\n Enter ship number:"; cin >> S.number;
cin.ignore();
cout << "\n Enter the name of the ship:"; cin.getline(S.name,50);
cout << "\n Enter the load capacity of the ship:"; cin >> S.capacity;
return (S);
}
It will help get a quicker answer if your code is properly indented, and uses the correct <pre> tags as above.

Was it intentional that you failed to explain what it is (not) supposed to do?
panda08 wrote: ...as intended.
What is its intent?
The onus is on you to pare down your code to just that which is problematic; not ours to wade through a bunch of code to try and figure out what it is supposed to do and why it is not doing such.

Hi
I have been trying to write to the non client area of a window specifically a Cdialog
This CDialog has a Rich Edit (I am displaying storage obtained) and I am trying to give details about it in the Non client area
seems to me there are 3 choices if I want to make it look nice nice means using the CDC class
1) process the ON_WM_NcPaint 2) using windows desktop manager (extending the frame and making it the client area) 3) using a static control / window
was wondering if someone could guide on which path to take
thanks

What kind of "details" are you gong to give in the dialog titlebar ("Non client area")? And why the simple SetWindowText call could not help you?
Or did you mean some other area (not a titlebar - ?) to put your details?
|
|
|
|

I am displaying MainFrame storage sent via TCP/IP sockets to Windows so the rich edit would display the actual storage
The data in the NC frame of the dialog would be the storage subpool where the storage was obtained, the storage key, whether the storage fetch protect (non readable) owning tcb in z/os resources are owned by the task represented by a tcb control that have programs represented by RB (request blocks)
as anside one of the things I learned that in windows that are only process and threads
thanks

In the context of your question it doesn't matter where the data you are going to display is coming form and how. 
however, you didn't answer why the simple SetWindowText cannot be used nor did you described the format of the data to be desplayed in NC area.

let me preface this by saying I am basically a mainfame programer so then I appreciate your expertise so here goes
SetTextWindow gives me one line to fill out with no choice for color background color or font
If I for instance use an ownerdraw static window my OnDrawitem could handle an rcItem Rect with possibly multiple lines allowing me to have my own font and color ?
|
|

Then what does prevent you to implement some user defined control (derived from CStatic or, better, from CWnd), place it above or below your RichEdit and draw what you want using CDC class in this control?
Just try it! Then if you wouldn't happy with such implementation then your next step were to move the code to the OnNcPaint handler.

thanks BTW I spent hours and hours with NCPAINT is doesnt work after getting the right DC GetWindowDC did a Textout pos 1,1 and text was never displayed
anyway thanks for your help much appreciate it

Make sure you are using the correct DC. Windows loves to clip stuff when drawing.

I did a quick searchereno using what we use, Lucene.net, and it's query syntax, and obtained:
XFontDialog - Customizing CFontDialog Part I: Adding Font Filters[^]
If you scroll down to the end of the page where the last image is perfunctorily displayed perhaps you'll see what I saw and think Is this what a non-client area customization looks like?

No offense to you youngsters...
I'm looking for someone or people who have scars from activeX development. Yes, I know it's obsolete, but unknown to most of you the world runs on existing code.
Rather than pollute the forum, you can find me at cgilley2640@gmail.com.
This is a cash opportunity - I'm stuck. Email me and I'll give you the particulars.

Because it's all written in C++?  I'll move it.
Also, I did not realize the discussion board list had multiple levels. Just learned something new.

happily, after dancing with this for many years, I have resolved my bug. As in most cases, it was a series of cascading failures, but ultimately, it came down to an arcane threading issue in COM.
Of course, the error message was "failed to load control, is it properly registered?" which had nothing to do with the real problem.
Happy to have this monkey off my back.

Hi

I did include in my VS property pages Linker->general-> input dwmapi.lib tried to open it (the dwmapi.lib) with depedency Walker got no DOS or PE signature. I opened dwmapi.dll from windows\system32 and saw the API thru dependency walker inluded dwmapi.h in the source. The Doc has Dwmapi with a capitol D but both .lib and the dll had small d
Any help appreciated thanks

Richard I changed it in the release Property Pages added dwmapi.lib but I did a debug build
got a clean link now
thanks
