Hi,

I want to draw a PNG image to a DC, but I can't seen to find a way to do that.
I've already googled and found a method to draw bitmaps with a monochrome mask, but I want my image to be semi-transparent.

I've seen some plugins draw PNGs for their GUI (MsgPlus!, Stuffplug, Screenshot Sender, ...), so I was wondering if someone is willing to tell how they me did that?

PS: I'm using MSVC, and i don't things like c++, oop, mfc, external dll's, ... Plz don't shoot me
