I''m using like normal GDI with windows.h and windowsx.h and I''m wondering if there is a way I can draw the base brush over the whole screen. See I have a prob where when teh program isnt in forcus and another window is moved the whole screen on my prog freezez and when it moves again the frozen image stays, now if part of the window is covered by another that part iwll be just fine cuz WM_PAINT fixes it, but what about the rest of the window..... =(
