WM_PAINT
 
The WM_PAINT message is sent when a window is to be repainted. An
application can get a presentation space for drawing by calling
WinBeginPaint. The presentation space will be clipped to the area of the
window that is to be painted.
 
This message does not use any parameters.
 
Return Value
 
An application should return zero if it processes this message.
 
Example
 
This example shows how an application gets a presentation space for drawing
by calling the WinBeginPaint function. When drawing is complete, the
WinEndPaint function is called to release the presentation space.
 
case WM_PAINT:
    hps = WinBeginPaint(hwnd, NULL, &rcl);
        .
        . /* drawing routines would go here */
        .
 
    WinEndPaint(hps);
    return (0L);
