These are failing with an invalid handle error code. It may be true that the
handle (a Device Context) is invalid at the time, but I'm wondering why the
IDE is bothering to call these functions if the window they are using is in
hibination or shutdown. I remember when coding in VB, that I'd often need to
check if a window was minimized before working with the controls in that
window - so maybe there is an XP API call to test if the machine is in
hibination mode or similar.

Yes, those two specific warnings (and a few similar ones) will not be
displayed now. If they fail, there will be no indication that that have done
so. I *do not* like this approach, and I'm coming up with an alternative,
but its not ready yet.
