Live Messenger style window, having problems with border update and child controls flickering

[Nathan Going]

I've modified CDialog to draw a window in a Windows Live Messenger style, using SerWindowRgn and with a custom drawn client area. One of the problems I’m having is when you size the window smaller, you see a gray border which shouldn’t be there. Please see My Code[^]. Am I handling the custom drawing correctly? Another problem is with controls flickering when I resize. I understand that this is caused by invalidating the entire window, but that's the only way I can cause the whole background to update. I will be adding in dynamic positioning and ownerdrawn controls. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank you.
