Obtaining a CDC* to a dialog - HELP!!

[qedusa]

How do I create or obtain a CDC* to a dialog in a dialog based MFC project. The closest thing supplied by MFC is a CPaintDC. When I try to create my own CDC* to draw things to the main dialog, it draws using global coordinates and also draws outside the actual dialog.
This is probably a silly little thing I'm overlooking but there is no OnDraw function available to supply me with a CDC*.
Any help would be appreciated.

You could use GetDC(yourDialog.GetSafeHandle());

I think

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the speedy response!! Just using myDialog.GetDC() works like a charm - I think I must've left my brain in bed this morning!!
Thanks!
