Well, you can't really just send a WM_PAINT message to a window to get it to repaint itself. The WM_PAINT is a side-effect of some other things that need to be done for painting. What I'd suggest is calling InvalidateRect to force a repaint of the window. If you specify that the entire window needs to redisplay, then *everything* gets redisplayed. [If you have windows that need partial repainting (i.e. part of the window is already invalid) and you want only that part to repaint, then UpdateWindow will force any pending redisplay to be done.] --Bill Turner (bturner@hp-pcd.hp.com) HP Corvallis Information Systems
