 GetDC()                Retrieves the handle of a device context
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Syntax:              GetDC( <hWnd> )  --> <hDC>

                        This function retrieves the handle of the device
                        context of the client area in the given window.

   Parameters:

   <hWnd>               The handle of the window.

   Returns:

   <hDC>                The handle of the device context.

   Observations:        You may think about a device context as a virtual
                        screen. Something similar when in MsDos we did
                        DispBegin() and DispEnd() with Clipper.

                        GetDC() it is like DispBegin(). Starts working
                        with a virtual screen. ReleaseDC() it is like
                        DispEnd(), and updates all painting to the
                        visible screen.

                        If you don't ReleaseDC() after you do a GetDC(),
                        you are unbalancing windows, and the system
                        finally crash!
