In 16bit VB:
Declare Function ReleaseDC Lib "User" (ByVal hWnd As Integer, ByVal
hDC As Integer) As Integer
Declare Function GetDC Lib "User" (ByVal hWnd As Integer) As Integer
...
Dim hDC As Integer
hDC = GetDC(0)
' do whatever you want with the hDC
...
When you're finished with the DC be sure to release it:
RetVal = ReleaseDC(0, hDC)
