Besides MSoft (cannot spend my life browsing 1000's of webpages) is there a GDI+ SDK/MSDN available for download somewhere.
:U
no,
the libraries and headers are supplied with the windows SDK.
You can use PackageThis: http://packagethis.codeplex.com/
It allows you to selectively pick which parts of the MSDN documentation to download and save to a CHM file.
Windows Development->Graphics->Legacy Graphics->GDI+
Right click-> select this node and all children
File Menu->Export to chm file
job done.
