How to DrawText to a HBITMAP?

How do I draw text to a DIBSection? Here is what I got so far but it just draws to the screen:

You need to select the bitmap into the dc.
how?
HBITMAP hBmpOld = (HBITMAP)SelectObject(hDC, hBitmap);
Then before ReleaseDC():
SelectObject(hDC, hBmpOld);
Or, use CreateCompatibleDC(NULL) to create a DC then select the bitmap into it at creation time.

Here is what I'm doing and I think it works but I don't know since I still need to copy the data to a texture and display it:
HDC hDC = CreateCompatibleDC(NULL); DWORD* pSrcData = 0; BITMAPINFO bmi = { sizeof( BITMAPINFOHEADER ), 256, 256, 1, 32, BI_RGB, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}; HBITMAP hTempBmp = CreateDIBSection( hDC, &bmi, DIB_RGB_COLORS, (void**)&pSrcData, NULL, 0 ); RECT rect; rect.left = 0; rect.top = 0; rect.bottom = 100; rect.right = 100; HFONT NewFont = CreateFont( 25, 0, 0, 0, FW_BOLD, 0, 0, 0, DEFAULT_CHARSET, OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS, 0, DEFAULT_QUALITY, DEFAULT_PITCH | FF_DONTCARE, "Arial" ); HBRUSH NewBrush = CreateSolidBrush(RGB(255, 0, 0)); SelectObject(hDC, NewFont); SelectObject(hDC, NewBrush); DrawText(hDC, "See?", 4, &rect, DT_LEFT | DT_WORDBREAK); DeleteObject(NewBrush); DeleteObject(NewFont); ReleaseDC(NULL, hDC);Thank you very much, now all I need to know is how to get the raw data from it?
EDIT: I think I figured it out, I think it updates pSrcData after I draw to it am I right?
Quote:Original post by CodaKillerIt's in pSrcData after you've drawn to the bitmap, and after you've called GdiFlush().

Though I read it and I kinda understand it I still am not quite sure what GdiFlush exactly?
Quote:Original post by CodaKillerGDI is free to queue up several draw calls before actually doing any drawing, which can be better for performance. On Vista, all (?) GDI calls go through Direct3D surfaces, and locking a surface is fairly expensive - so it would be better for performance for GDI to lock the surface, draw 10 things, then unlock it instead of locking and unlocking for each individual draw command.
Though I read it and I kinda understand it I still am not quite sure what GdiFlush exactly?
GdiFlush() just tells the GDI to render everything it has queued up now, so that the bitmap contains the data you expect.
The default batch size is probably 1 anyway, but it's always best not to assume these sorts of things.

You sir are a very smart man! Thanks!
