Problems with WM_PAINT

[oaw]

When I have been using the program for a while, the graphics really messes up. All fonts,pen and brush get wrong.

Could have something to do with the device context, or the graphical object I create/delete.

(I think the program messes up when the WM_PAINT message has run about 100 times).

Sounds like you are loosing graphics resources. Make sure you reselect in the original pens, brushes, ... etc before exiting your paint function. Also if you use GetDC anywhere you need to use ReleaseDC.

Hope this helps.

I had the same problem. Revert to stock objects (brushes, pens) and delete created objects *before* closing the DC. That will do it.
