+FastGDI Example\r
+===============\r
+This example demonstrates how to change the colour of a bitmap by manipulating\r
+the bitmap data directly. This provides a rapid technique for changing the \r
+colour in a device context associated with a window. Traditional GDI techniques\r
+using GetPixel and SetPixel are much slower.\r
+\r
+\r
+Features demonstrated in this example\r
+=====================================\r
+* Use of large toolbar buttons.\r
+* Implementation of a Most Recently Used (MRU) List in the File menu.\r
+* Using of the CDC class to work with device contexts\r
+* Use of the CBitmapInfoPtr class to access a bitmap image.\r
+* Using the TintBitmap function to manipulate the bitmap date directly.\r
+* Use of double buffering to render GDI quickly.\r
+* Automatically resize the frame to match the image size when its loaded.\r
+* Use of scroll bars.\r
