  int SaveDC() const;
 
  Remarks
 
  Saves the current state of the device context by copying state
  information (such as clipping region, selected objects, and mapping
  mode) to a context stack maintained by Windows. The saved device context
  can later be restored by using RestoreDC.
 
  SaveDC can be used any number of times to save any number of
  device-context states.
 
  Return Value
 
  Specifies the saved device context. It is 0 if an error occurs. This
  return value is used on a subsequent call to RestoreDC to restore the
  device context state.
