If the window dont have the class styles CS_VREDRAW and CS_HREDRAW, then the window will not be redrawn automatically. Then you have to call the Invalidate to get the window redrawn, in the OnSize().

Thank u.

I am sorry for mentioning it as window. its a dialog box , and i found that
its calling paint immediately after WM_SIZE as its painting the client area,
but the previous content remains at that position.

Once i min/max or send a wm_paint to dialog box the previous content gets disappeared

Thanx'n'Advance Smile | :)

I think you are not erasing the background. Can you show me the code in OnPaint and OnEraseBkgnd?

dc.Rectangle(rect.Width()/2,rect.Height()/2,100,100);

i dnt process WM_SIZE or WM_ERASEBKGND

The problem is what I said before. Dialog will not have CS_VREDRAW or CS_HREDRAW styles. So you have to call Invalidate( FALSE ) in the OnSize(). It will solve the issue.

Please note:

This is wrong. The objects will not be deleted.

You can use FillSolidRect for simple fills.

ya i have done it. its working fine. thank u

but what my doubt is if its not calling OnPaint then how whole client area
is filled (ie dc.FillRect(&rect,new CBrush(RGB(255,0,255))???

and thanx for FillSolidRect.
