Do you mean without sending WM_PAINT message or without handling WM_PAINT event? ARSALAN MALIK

I mean WM_PAINT message. Dipeka.A.J

You can get pointer to device context (CDC) by using any of these functions: GetClientDC(), GetPaintDC(). You will not need to send/handle WM_PAINT message:) ARSALAN MALIK

When you need something repainted then invalidate that area (or the whole client area) and your paint handler will do the rest. But I am not so sure what you try to achieve. In Win32 InvalidateRect() UpdateWindow() that is. /Moak
