Hi,

I had a CDialog window which managed the OnPaint event in order to draw an image on the window (using a bitmap would be too high a cost in the EXE file). I modified it by a class CExtWS<CDialog> to give it the ProfUIS style.

Since I use the class CExtWS<CDialog>, the OnPaint event of my window is
not called any more. I tried to intercept the message using WindowProc
without result.

Where does the problem come from and how can I solve it ?

Thanks,

Moby.

You may intercept the WM_PAINT message in the WindowProc virtual method. If you need to redraw the dialog background in the OnPaint method, you should add the code like this to your dialog class:

virtual LRESULT WindowProc(
   UINT message, 
   WPARAM wParam, 
   LPARAM lParam 
   )
{
   if( message == WM_PAINT || message == WM_ERASEBKGND )
     return CDialog :: WindowProc( message, wParam, lParam );
   return CExtWS < CDialog > :: WindowProc( 
        message,
        wParam,
        lParam 
        );
}
