I have a program that is somewhat like ms Paint.
And everytime its repainted w/e was drawn on it gets deleted.
I know why, thats not the case. I want to know how to keep whatever was drawn there, without it beind deleted everytime its resized or repained.
Any suggestions how i could do that?
Thanks
EDIT:
By the way im using Win32.
Check out WM_ERASEBKGND.

I dont get it.
what do i do when i get the message?
Im guessing that i would have to create a bush out of whats drawn on the screen and repaint with the brush? or what?
Just a guess, but maybe when you receive that message make it do nothing and maybe it won't do it's default operation of clearing the background?
How are you 'saving' what was currently on screen?
Are you using double buffering?
Need to draw to a Compatible DC and then BitBlt() that to the DC returned from BeginPaint() using the Rect in the paintstruct filled by BeginPaint()
NVM, i got it allQuote:

In the WM_PAINT BitBlt() your screen DC to the DC returned (or in the PAINTSTRUCT) from BeginPaint().
Use the rect in the PAINTSTRUCT for the area to draw to.
