Techwiki:DC State Saving
DC State saving is done from SaveDC (NtGdiSaveDC), restoring from RestoreDC (NtGdiRestoreDC). The Saved levels form a linked list of HDCs, with the first saved state DC in the original DC's dclevel.hdcSave. Each Saved DC has this field set to the last DC that was saved before. The hdcSave field is initialized with 0. The dclevel.lSaveDepth specifies the DCs save level. It is initialized with 1 and grows by one each time you call SaveDC. After calling RestoreDC, it is restored to the requested level. Saved DCs don't belong to the current process. Instead they have a ProcessId of something like 0x80000012 (found on XP).
