About Memory DC
While it is not a new concept for Advanced programmers but Beginners may find it useful.
When we draw on any Dc or surface then as soon as we add new things the surface (like a form or usercontrol) gets updated quickly and the screen flickers. This flicker may be very much irritative for any developer who is at a beginning step of graphics programming. The Memory Dc concept (Also called double buffering) can be very useful to avoid flicker in these conditions.
Under this concept, we create a DC, that is not shown in the screen, using CreateCompatibleDC API. Then we create a Bitmap to use for that Dc using CreateCompatibleBitmap API. Then we draw all the stuffs in the memory DC. Since it is not shown in the screen so no chance of Flicker! At last when we are finished with the drawing then we copy, what we made in the memory DC, using BitBlt API. Since we updated our control for only one time so screen doesn't flicker!
This is a basic concept about Memory DC. If you are having similar problems in your app then feel free to contact me at pro_science108(at)yahoo.com
