I know whats doing it..
its this part..

DC = CreateCompatibleDC(MainWindow.hdc)
    
    If DC < 1 Then
        'Error: Can't create compatible DC
        LoadDC = -1
        
        Exit Function
    End If

Problem is I dont know what i am doing ...
I see this code in alot of examples..

The number is -dc .. so function exits.
if i comment out End Function it work ok..

Myabe the question should be why is it in there ?
