Remarks
Use the DKGRAY_BRUSH, GRAY_BRUSH, and LTGRAY_BRUSH stock objects only in windows with the CS_HREDRAW and CS_VREDRAW styles.
Using a gray stock brush in any other style of window can lead to misalignment of brush patterns after a window is moved or sized. The origins of stock brushes cannot be adjusted.
The HOLLOW_BRUSH and NULL_BRUSH stock objects are equivalent.
It is not necessary (but it is not harmful) to delete stock objects by calling DeleteObject.
