PAINTSTRUCT

This structure contains information that an application uses to paint the client area of a window owned by that application.

typedef struct tagPAINTSTRUCT { 
  HDC hdc; 
  BOOL fErase; 
  RECT rcPaint; 
  BOOL fRestore; 
  BOOL fIncUpdate; 
  BYTE rgbReserved[32]; 
} PAINTSTRUCT;

Members

  • hdc

For more information about backgrounds, see the description of the hbrBackground member of the WNDCLASS structure.
  • rcPaint
    Specifies a RECT structure that specifies the upper left and lower right corners of the rectangle in which the painting is requested.
