try on using stretchblt() Hello World!

I've found the answer: int CSimpleDialog::DoModal() { CDialogTemplate dlt; int nResult; // load dialog template if (!dlt.Load(MAKEINTRESOURCE(CSimpleDialog::IDD))) return -1; // set your own font, for example "Arial", 10 pts. dlt.SetFont("Arial", 10); // get pointer to the modified dialog template LPSTR pdata = (LPSTR)GlobalLock(dlt.m_hTemplate); // let MFC know that you are using your own template m_lpszTemplateName = NULL; InitModalIndirect(pdata); // display dialog box nResult = CDialog::DoModal(); // unlock memory object GlobalUnlock(dlt.m_hTemplate); return nResult; }

The only thing I can think of is to make sure the interface is defined before it is used (i.e., defined before CWWAlmDBPrg) and that the header is included in the source file in which its used. Also, perhaps recompiling the IDL file before building the project would help. I had a similar problem once where the IDL file wasn't getting compiled automatically during the build, and I had to manually do it before the build process.

Sounds like your rotation code is causing your mask to degrade, so that the transparent colour where it is next to another colour is slightly changed. Have you verified that the pixels in question are EXACTLY the background colour, and not off by one or two ?
