Simple Image (Native Controls)

[Donaut]

Hello. Currently, I'm making a Custom Data Visualizer for Visual Studio and want to use WinApi as a Gui (low memory usage and lightning-fast ). My problem is that I want to show a simple image. And I need some guidance on where to start. (Do windows have an image Control or i just draw to the window itself?) I appreciate any help.

I recommend you use the standard GDI+ in .NET (System.Drawing.Bitmap class etc.). It's not worth it to use the WinAPI directly in this case.
