GDImage controls are persistent, you'll never worry about redrawing when your window is minimized or temporarily covered, because they handle all the messy Windows details for you.
Create once... and forget, GDImage handles everything, automatically! 

All colors use the 32-bit ARGB format required to perform alphablending.
Mix bitmaps and vectorial drawing in the same graphic control.
Create child controls, popup layered windows, popup shapped windows (window based on region).
Create Sprite animation, dynamic image rotation, and visual effects.
Use the built-in effects to perform slide show presentation.
You can use both the GDI and the GDI+ API inside the same GDImage control.
OpenGL support to create 3D animation, including texture creation from any of the supported graphic formats.
Display very large image altogether with zooming capabilities.
Create interactive application through mouse/keyboard event callback (Pro version only).
Complete examples provided with commented "SDK style" source code, ready to use.
Detailed CHM help file.

Sprite objects:
Image, text, line, arrow, ellipse, rectangle, polyline, polypoligon, curve.
All the sprite objects are floating above the image background as transparent or opaque layers.
Properties you can change on the fly: 
z-order, location, color, pen size, translucency, text string, draft or antialias mode.

GDImage (trial version) is provided with a CHM help file and a chapter dedicated to the "Pro version"
