To produce a shadow effect, you can add another copy of the same text on a slightly

different location and call the CDC::SetBkMode() method. Here is an example:

void CExoView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC)

{

CExoDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();

ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);

CFont font;

font.CreatePointFont(920, "Garamond");

CFont *pFont = pDC->SelectObject(&font);

pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);

pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(110, 185, 250));

pDC->TextOut(26, 24, "Christine", 9);

pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(0, 0, 255));

pDC->TextOut(20, 18, "Christine", 9);

pDC->SelectObject(pFont);

font.DeleteObject();

}

One of the most complete means of creating a font is by using the CFont::CreateFont()

method. Its syntax is:

BOOL CreateFont(int nHeight,

int nWidth,

int nEscapement,

int nOrientation,

int nWeight,

BYTE bItalic,

BYTE bUnderline,

BYTE cStrikeOut,
