Getting a Device context

I'm sure this is very easy to do, but I just can't figure it out :( I need a way to get a pDC for the screen from my view View class. However, I need this from a function where it isn't automatically passed in (e.g. OnPaste())

Thanks in advance for the help.

Check out the function GetDC(driver, device, output, NULL). By the by, you can get the driver, device and output info from the registry. I think you're right though, and there may be an easier way to do this. But at least this might give you an idea!

For CDC , use CDC * pDC = GetDC();
For CClientDC use CClientDC dc(this);
