Hi everyone!
I would like to start by saying thanks to everyone who takes some time to view this thread and try to help.
I have a task to create application's main window to look very similar to this one:
https://iseb.beograd.gov.rs/Admin/AdminHome.aspx[
^].
I need to make the same banner with different text, and buttons very similar as those at the page.
I have tried this using bitmaps and loading them into static controls that had style SS_BITMAP, and have tried with BitBlt(), but since the dimensions of the button are big ( i pass 150 as buttons width and 150 as buttons height in CreateWindow() ) the quality of the picture is awful.
So my question is following:
How would I create those same buttons and banner, using C++ and Win32 ?
I guess GDI will not help, or if it will, please tell me what am I missing?
Should I do it with GDI+, or DirectX ...
What is your advice? What should I use to draw those buttons and banner with same quality of graphic?
If you do decide to offer advice, I would highly appreciate if you would recommend some links / books / code examples ...
Thank you very much.
I work in MS Visual Studio Express 2008, on Windows XP, in C++, using pure WIN32 API.
If any other information is required ( source code or something similar ), please ask for it, I will more than gladly supply it.
