I wanted to paint bitmaps on forms, like Access does. So I wrote some code for that: First, add in your derived CFormView two members:
CPalette m_palette;
CBitmap m_bitmap;
Add the following functions to your derived class: OnDraw overrides the base class’ function, and OnCtlColor is a handler for WM_CTLCOLOR message. Call in OnInitialUpdate the function:
GetBitmapAndPalette( IDB_BACK, m_bitmap, m_palette );
where IDB_BACK is the identifier for the bitmap you want as background.
The code uses Keith Rule’s CMemDC class. I added it here, so you don’t have to search for it.
Add to your view a handler for WM_ERASEBKGND message:
BOOL CMyView::OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC)
{
// TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default
return FALSE;
}
void CMyFormView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC)
{
// TODO: Add your specialized code here and/or call the base class
::DrawTheBackground(this,pDC,&m_palette,&m_bitmap);
}
HBRUSH CMyFormView::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
//replace with your own base class
HBRUSH hbr = CDaoRecordView::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
// TODO: Change any attributes of the DC here
if(nCtlColor==CTLCOLOR_STATIC){
//this is only an example – you may have to modify here the
//code in order to work properly for you
if(pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID()==IDC_STATIC){
pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
//you can change the color of static text here
//pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(255,255,255));
return (HBRUSH)::GetStockObject(NULL_BRUSH);
}
}else pDC->SetBkMode(OPAQUE);
// TODO: Return a different brush if the default is not desired
return hbr;
}
BOOL CMyFormView::GetBitmapAndPalette(UINT nIDResource,
CBitmap &bitmap,
CPalette &pal)
{
LPCTSTR lpszResourceName = (LPCTSTR)nIDResource;
HBITMAP hBmp = (HBITMAP)::LoadImage( AfxGetInstanceHandle(),
lpszResourceName, IMAGE_BITMAP, 0,0, LR_CREATEDIBSECTION );
if( hBmp == NULL )return FALSE;
bitmap.Attach( hBmp );
// Create a logical palette for the bitmap
DIBSECTION ds;
BITMAPINFOHEADER &bmInfo = ds.dsBmih;
bitmap.GetObject( sizeof(ds), &ds );
int nColors = bmInfo.biClrUsed ? bmInfo.biClrUsed : 1
<< bmInfo.biBitCount;
// Create a halftone palette if colors > 256.
CClientDC dc(NULL); // Desktop DC
if( nColors > 256 ) pal.CreateHalftonePalette( &dc );
else{
// Create the palette
RGBQUAD *pRGB = new RGBQUAD[nColors];
CDC memDC;
memDC.CreateCompatibleDC(&dc);
memDC.SelectObject( &bitmap );
::GetDIBColorTable( memDC, 0, nColors, pRGB );
UINT nSize = sizeof(LOGPALETTE) + (sizeof(PALETTEENTRY)
* nColors);
LOGPALETTE *pLP = (LOGPALETTE *) new BYTE[nSize];
pLP->palVersion = 0x300;
pLP->palNumEntries = nColors;
for( int i=0; i < nColors; i++){

pLP->palPalEntry[i].peBlue = pRGB[i].rgbBlue;
pLP->palPalEntry[i].peFlags = 0;
}
pal.CreatePalette( pLP );
delete[] pLP;
delete[] pRGB;
}
return TRUE;
}
