Drawing Graphics with C and Windows API is Easy

In this video I will demonstrate basic usage of Windows GDI to draw graphics on the screen.

No 30 seconds intro, no ads, no sponsors, no BS talking, straight to the point

Nice, I didn't realize that you could draw directly onto the screen without a window. If I am not mistaken you could get the DC for the desktop it self. This gave some ideas for desktop widgets that displays information for instance a server monitor using ping to check if each server is online. Thanks as always.

I cannot stress enough how much I love straight-to-the-point-no-bs videos such as yours.

The only man that programs on Windows like it's 1990 UNIX.

Personally this is the most interesting / useful YT channel for me at the time. Please don‘t stop uploading.

[yorimirus]

Wow. Didn't know you can draw stuff without a window on windows. Not sure what it would be useful for but that's pretty cool.

I always get jumpscared by the reminder to subscribe at the end of these videos

Wow, this was so simple and nice explanation. I knew GDI but thought it was too low level, but this is so cool. You also explained how to use cmd tool cl.exe and how to refer to microsoft docs. Please make more videos on GDI. Maybe two series, one that covers creating a UI using GDI, other that shows how to make a simple game using GDI.

how is this possible. the things you did in this and the last video I also did a few weeks ago.

btw intersting video like everytime

LOVE these no BS videos. 2 questions:
1. before the animation, you had the draw code in a loop. what purpose does that fulfill? does the rectangle disappear after a bit?
2. would you be able to make a video on drawing images (i.e. loaded from file)?

Windows API is great. These videos are amazing!

[karolduracz]

Your style to show how to use functions and API mechanisms step by step is great. Like yours videos. Make more videos like this.

I saw someone comment on another video that they were looking into a topic but couldn’t find straight-to-the-point specifics, only old stuff. Lo and behold, you uploaded this video on windowless graphics drawing through the windows api, something I was looking into and couldn’t find a good video on…

[faucar]

I was looking for this since I was 10 Thank you so much

[d_sanu]

Great video Sir. You are always to the point 👍

[kxnrhzt]

damn bro this is cool i will use this thank you so much

[justinnamilee]

Neat! Also, I find it interesting that the brush is tied to the screen instead of say to the rectangle, seems like it may be a pain to use multiple colours.

[vishwa_randunu]

Sir, can you make video "How to direcly access graphic hardware in linux"?

[lorensims]

Cool! Now how can you do this under DOS?

[ryonagana]

nice. like old win3.11 and win95 games. love it..
my favorite is skifree i think its pure GDI right?

[zakariajouimaa]

i hope if you can start a cpp course from start it will be nice and thanks for the vid
