Topic: I need real big help
This code is in GDI
and its a Alpha Blending a Bitmap
Im doing this for a team. And this is my current project and cannot change it. I need help with it. I need to know what area blends the colors. Then i need a Blend of 2 colors with 8 main cases.. if u understand any of this please help
