Why would anyone do this work for you? There are plenty of resources on the web and in directx documentation where you can learn how to do those things. No one is going to just write the code for you unless you pay them, or at the very least show that you've tried to do it on your own.

1. Why is it in a DC? Can't you get it from wherever the DC got it's image? (Rersource, file, etc).
2. See the SDK for samples on rendering a textured triangle / quad
3. See 2.
4. I don't understand what you mean. Do you want to create 2 D3D windows, one on each monitor? If so, when you create the device, specify the relevent adapter index (0 or 1) for the primary and secondary monitors
5. There was an example in the DX8 SDK (I think, it may have been the DX7 SDK) on rendering DirectShow to a texture. That's probably what you want.

>>Why would anyone do this work for you?
They wouldn't; they could potentially have already done it for themself.
Before reinventing the wheel:
1. Search for relevant examples with the buzzwords I have thus far,
2. Check with others for relevant examples, at least relevant buzz words
3. Make my own, based upon the most relevant docs I can find.
(Common sense)

Now to the meat of the matter:
1. It is technically in a bitmap slected into a DC; from various sources,
all of them created on the fly, thus in memory:
In one case it is from a fairly fast video frame renderer,
In another case it is from a bitmap I've prepared via GDI and GDIplus
I am happy to start by assuming I have a handle to a bitmap, which I do.
2. 3. That gives me a direction to look... thanks.
4. That's handy too.
5. Thanks again.

The buzzwords do help a lot.
(The world is found in a well formed search string)


And of course, if anyone just happened to already pass this way, I am
always welcoming VB code. (If someone DID have such and I didn't at
least ask, how stupid of me would that be!)

Thanks again.

Just a quick comment...

I know how lame "plez send code" sounds; but even that, just like "Sleep 0", occasionally has a valid place. I don't think any of us are here for the purpose of avoiding the learning process. Of course I searched; and found brief mentions of ways to do things, and a few C++ examples. As a VB programmer I use C++ docs a lot, but it really helps to find enough VBized examples to hack it all together. If I have to kludge the world from C++ to VB I prefer to at least limit the scope of such. Even a clue, with some search terms as Steve provided, is invaluable. Thanks again.
