GDI+ With C++Builder ?

Question

How do I use GDI+ with C++Builder? Can someone give me a simple example of creating a surface and drawing a circle on it?

Answer 1

It would be similar to coding a normal Windows program in C using Visual Studio.

Basically:

• include "gdiplus.h"
• link to gdiplus.lib
• call GdiPlusStartup at the start of your program (before main window creation)
• call GdiPlusShutdown at the end of your program (after the message loop has ended and the main window's been destroyed)

Here's a link with a sample program:
