This question is for a friend.  He has been unable to place text
into a stretched bitmat (after it has been stretched).  To be more
specific, he is using the function "stretchblt()" to stretch a 
bitmap.  He then wants to use "textout()" on the destination device
context.  He *can* place the text into the bitmap before it is
stretched, but then the stretching distorts the text. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

There must be some other problem because there is nothing magical about
StretchBlt().  Like PatBlt(), BitBlt(), LineTo(), and all other GDI
functions it simply takes some immediate action upon a device context.
There is no reason why StretchBlt() would alter a DC to the point where
subsequent graphics output would not work.

If your friend can supply an appropriate code fragment we might be able
to see the problem.
