OK, I didn't know about the non-existence of WM_DRAW. No wonder I couldn't find it <br />
anywhere in the docs. FYI I *have* tried reading the online documentation -- but a lot of<br />
it is non-intuitive, and pretty disorganized. I guess I should go buy Petzold or something.<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />

If you use the very fine full-text search commands and turn up nothing, you can be certain it doesn't exist.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I don't really know the difference between what WM_PAINT does and what WM_DRAW does, and this is <br />
causing some trouble. I have an application with a CEditView and I have a string of text that I am trying to<br />
print to it. I would like the screen to be cleared before I print a new string. I tried to do this by using <br />
GetEditCtrl().SetWindowTex<wbr />t (NULL), but the text disappears immediately after printing. I &nbsp;am using GetEditCtrl().SetSel and ReplaceSel to print the text. I think this has something to do with the window painting,<br />
&nbsp;but i don't know how to stop this.<br />
<br />
I think this probably has an easy answer. If it turns out not to, I will offer more points.<br />

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
