Don't paint controls in random places, it will never have the results you want. You should only do it in response to WM_PAINT messages, which are usually handled in the OnDraw or OnPaint method.

Hi, I don't have a message map for my rich edit so this the code for OnPaint for the Parent Dialog After I streamin my data the data is displayed with a thin blue background this backgrounds surrounds just this text so I when I streamin 2 lines there is blue background white line following it. next line of text surrounded by the blue background I am trying to get rid of blue background when I inserted the OnPaint the entire rich edit is covered up

afx_msg void Show_storage::OnPaint()
{
CPaintDC richdc(Myrich);
richdc.SetBkColor(RGB(255,255,255));

}

Like I said before, you cannot just paint into a control as and when you like. You must only do it in its OnPaint member function.
