I was doing some programming for my PocketPC a short while back, and I noticed that I can't create a window using either the CS_CLASSDC or CS_OWNDC styles. I was wondering if there was perhaps some alternate way to do this, as I'd like to avoid getting/releasing the device context with each rendering cycle.

Hmm ce windows i presume? yeah any ways have you tried the CWnd commands?

If not have a look at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...m/cwnd_168.asp

Sorry theres far tooo much info on this subject to reply here.

I prefer using the raw API, rather than the MFC classes. There are a number of reasons for this, such as a) the MFC implementation for WinCE is not as rich as that for desktop Windows, b) I like to know exactly what's happening in my code, and MFC hides a lot of details, and c) I want to be able to write programs which compile with minimal changes under both eVC++ and, say, DevC++, and DevC++ lacks the MFC libs.

That said, since MFC is based on the raw API, it won't be using class/private DCs if the raw API doesn't support them. Hence, every time your CWnd object redraws itself, it'd need to get a common DC. I wanted to avoid this because it's less efficient than a DC that sticks around, and because I don't want to have to restore the attributes of the DC every cycle, as is necessary with common DCs.

SaveDC() doesnt work either?
