I don't think it links up to DirectDraw, as far as I can remember, and i've written tutorials using the ImageList, the imagelist stores images and blits them WITH transparency, it's extremely easy to use but as far as speed goes, it's allegedly very very slow in comparision. I guess you can replace where you used BitBlt with DirectDraw... I haven't programmed for very long so my memory's blurry, still tho, I reckon purists would think that it's completely not refined and slow.
