D2DERR_TARGET_NOT_GDI_COMPATIBLE

D2DERR_TARGET_NOT_GDI_COMPATIBLE means that the selected Direct2D render target was not created with the requirements needed for GDI interoperability. A general Direct2D target is not automatically usable with GDI.

What to check

Create the target with the documented GDI-compatible usage or options when GDI interop is required.
Use a compatible render-target type instead of attempting interop through an arbitrary target.
Separate GDI and Direct2D rendering paths when the target cannot support both.

Changing the HDC alone will not make an incompatible Direct2D target GDI-compatible.
