Why I can use a const in a method with &h8000000000000000 as the
value but a const added to a window gives me 0 is beyond me

I think you missed my point. Unless you actually have a 40-foot
monitor, you don't need to ever call DrawString with coordinate values
outside +/- 32767. Just check the coordinates of the string you're
about to draw, and if they're ridiculously far out, simply don't make
the call. Better yet, check them against the bounds of whatever you're
drawing into, and skip any that are going to be entirely outside of
that.
Best,
