GDI DrawBitmap

[Rehorav]

Hey everyone, I've been working on a graph lately, and I've noticed in a few defraggers they have something where the images drawn look like they're kind of white'd out on one edge to give it a sorta cool look.

Here are some examples:



If you look at the pic above, you'll notice the white at the top of the drawn colors.



With the pic above it has it on the bottom edge.


So how can I do the white fade when drawing in MFC?

In GDI+, you can create a gradient brush which is handy. In GDI, it's a bit more complicted. You use GradientFill() with a couple of structures to define the gradient and a RECT to fill. Here's some info from MSDN:

Alright great, thanks for the information. I was thinking of using a brush to draw the individual lines, but it looks like I'll have to do the GradientFill and make sure its just 1 pixel wide with GDI+.
