Please avoid using GetDC(0) for all kinds of graphics tests, this may lead
(inadvertently) to graphics artifacts because it's basically an eqivalent
of CreateDC("display"). I'd suggest to use CreateCompatibleDC(0) instead,
and create a dedicated window if painting is really desired.

In general you wouldn't want to do drawing tests with
CreateCompatibleDC(0) either, since that's a monochrome device. Of
course as long as you are not drawing, either way is fine.
