Re: How to add a Dialog in a View

I disagree with doing it this way. If he is only going to display an image
on a window why go through the overhead of CFormView and a CStatic. Why not
simply draw the image himself in the views paint routine. This way he has
full control, if later he wants to add scrolling he can do that (where if he
had a CFormView with a static control it would be difficult), and also can
avoid flickering by overriding the erasebackground message.

void CMyView::OnPaint()
{
        CPaintDC dc(this);
        CMemDC MemDC;
        MemDC.CreateCompatibleDC(&dc);
        int Saved = MemDC.SaveDC();
        MemDC.SelectObject(m_Bmp);
        //calculate X, and Y based on the window size and Width and Height
of bitmap
        ....
        dc.BitBlt(X,Y,Width,Height,&MemDC,0,0,SRCCOPY);
        MemDC.RestoreDC(Saved);
}
