CWnd::RedrawWindow

Updates the specified rectangle or region in the given window's client area.

BOOL RedrawWindow(
   LPCRECT lpRectUpdate = NULL,
   CRgn* prgnUpdate = NULL,
   UINT flags = RDW_INVALIDATE | RDW_UPDATENOW | RDW_ERASE 
); 

Parameters

  • lpRectUpdate
    Points to a RECT structure containing the coordinates of the update rectangle. This parameter is ignored if prgnUpdate contains a valid region handle.

  • prgnUpdate
    Identifies the update region. If both prgnUpdate and lpRectUpdate are NULL, the entire client area is added to the update region.

  • flags
    The following flags are used to invalidate the window:

    • RDW_ERASE   Causes the window to receive a WM_ERASEBKGND message when the window is repainted. The RDW_INVALIDATE flag must also be specified; otherwise RDW_ERASE has no effect.

    • RDW_FRAME   Causes any part of the nonclient area of the window that intersects the update region to receive a WM_NCPAINT message. The RDW_INVALIDATE flag must also be specified; otherwise RDW_FRAME has no effect.

    • RDW_INTERNALPAINT   Causes a WM_PAINT message to be posted to the window regardless of whether the window contains an invalid region.

    • RDW_INVALIDATE   Invalidate lpRectUpdate or prgnUpdate (only one may be not NULL). If both are NULL, the entire window is invalidated.

    The following flags are used to validate the window:

    • RDW_NOERASE   Suppresses any pending WM_ERASEBKGND messages.

    • RDW_NOFRAME   Suppresses any pending WM_NCPAINT messages. This flag must be used with RDW_VALIDATE and is typically used with RDW_NOCHILDREN. This option should be used with care, as it could prevent parts of a window from painting properly.

    • RDW_NOINTERNALPAINT   Suppresses any pending internal WM_PAINT messages. This flag does not affect WM_PAINT messages resulting from invalid areas.

    • RDW_VALIDATE   Validates lpRectUpdate or prgnUpdate (only one may be not NULL). If both are NULL, the entire window is validated. This flag does not affect internal WM_PAINT messages.

    The following flags control when repainting occurs. Painting is not performed by the RedrawWindow function unless one of these bits is specified.

    • RDW_ERASENOW   Causes the affected windows (as specified by the RDW_ALLCHILDREN and RDW_NOCHILDREN flags) to receive WM_NCPAINT and WM_ERASEBKGND messages, if necessary, before the function returns. WM_PAINT messages are deferred.

    • RDW_UPDATENOW   Causes the affected windows (as specified by the RDW_ALLCHILDREN and RDW_NOCHILDREN flags) to receive WM_NCPAINT, WM_ERASEBKGND, and WM_PAINT messages, if necessary, before the function returns.

    By default, the windows affected by the RedrawWindow function depend on whether the specified window has the WS_CLIPCHILDREN style. The child windows of WS_CLIPCHILDREN windows are not affected. However, those windows that are not WS_CLIPCHILDREN windows are recursively validated or invalidated until a WS_CLIPCHILDREN window is encountered. The following flags control which windows are affected by the RedrawWindow function:

    • RDW_ALLCHILDREN   Includes child windows, if any, in the repainting operation.

    • RDW_NOCHILDREN   Excludes child windows, if any, from the repainting operation.

Return Value

Nonzero if the window was redrawn successfully; otherwise 0.

Remarks

When the RedrawWindow member function is used to invalidate part of the desktop window, that window does not receive a WM_PAINT message. To repaint the desktop, an application should use CWnd::ValidateRgn, CWnd::InvalidateRgn, CWnd::UpdateWindow, or RedrawWindow
