C++ Memory Device Context and Compatible Bitmap Creation

// The code above creates a memory device context and a compatible bitmap, and selects the bitmap into the memory device context.

// 'GetDC(NULL)' retrieves a handle to a device context for the entire screen. // 'CreateCompatibleDC()' creates a memory device context that is compatible with the specified device context. // 'CreateCompatibleBitmap()' creates a bitmap that is compatible with the specified device context. // 'SelectObject()' selects an object into the specified device context and returns a handle to the previously selected object.

// In this case, the compatible bitmap is a 1x1 pixel bitmap, which is used as a placeholder for future drawing operations. The memory device context is used to perform off-screen drawing operations, which can then be copied to the screen when necessary.
