does BeginPaint erase the whole client area..or just the invalid region?
Petzold said "During the BeginPaint call, Windows erase the background fo the client area" in Chapter 3
In Chapter 4 Petzold says "The BeginPaint function generally causes the background of the invalid region to be erased."
please help
Its always good to see what Microsoft says....looks like it depends.We need more expertise I guess...If the update region is marked for erasing, BeginPaint sends a WM_ERASEBKGND message to the window.

...so you could handle the message yourself, or specify a brush in hbrBackground.
