What I want is a modeless dialog, which behaves like a MDIView but without the overhead of the document.

It should be moveable only inside the client area of the application and not on the whole desktop.

or I should use SelectObject(m_pOld)/DeleteDC() after each SelectObject(&some_bitmapX)??

No it is not safe to use

CDC dc;//assign value

dc.RestoreDC( -1 );

Please revise the order of your list

I care more about performance So the order is fine

I have written "as long as I dont have leaks, I care more about performance ";)...so my priority is to avoid memory leaks and then I optimize my code.

I delete some_bitmapX objects (when exiting the app as they are 'global').

PatrykDabrowski wrote:

CreateCompatibleDC()/DeleteDC() slower comparing to CDC::SaveDC()/RestoreDC()??

CDC dc; dc.CreateCompatibleDC(..);
dc.SaveDC();
dc.SelectObject(bitmap1); /* do something */
dc.SelectObject(bitmap2); /* do something */
dc.RestoreDC( -1 );
dc.DeleteDC();
