Should that be bind, not bind1 ?
It's not hard to write your own deleter if you can't do it with a
binder:
struct DCReleaser
{
DCReleaser(HWND hwnd) : hwnd(hwnd) {}
void operator()(void* p) { ReleaseDC( hwnd, (HDC)p ); }
HWND hwnd;
};
handle make_dc( HWND hWnd )
{
return handle( GetDC( hWnd ), DCReleaser(hWnd) );
}
but ...

I think bind(ReleaseDC, hWnd, _1) should work.

The custom deleter's function operator is called with the managed
pointer as its argument, e.g. for a deleter d and pointer p: d(p)
