  Description
 
  The CGdiObject class provides a base class for various kinds of Windows
  graphical design interface (GDI) objects such as bitmaps, regions,
  brushes, pens, palettes, and fonts. You never create a CGdiObject
  directly. Rather, you create an object from one of its derived classes,
  such as CPen or CBrush.
