One problem I see is in DrawPolyT you're call to DeleteObject is wrong. You want to save the handle returned by CreateHatchBrush (as you did in your other two functions) and then call DeleteObject on it.

My connection went south before I could tell you guys why I posted the code.
I want the 3 block letters to come up from the bottom of the client area. I am drawing the letters in a slightly new Y position each time, and then I want to ERASE the client area before I draw the letter in a new position (slightly higher than the last postion). If you do this quickly, it gives the illusion that the letters are "moving" or "animated"
I have already written all the code necessary to DRAW and MOVE the letters, I just need some help getting the screen to refresh or erase properly between draws, taking into account the hdc and stuff.
My understanding is that hdc = GetDC(hwnd) returns the ENTRE client area, not jus the invalid rect.
My brain is turning to mush. Somebody explain how I can do simple animation.

Consider the following code excerpt (from DrawPolyT above)
hdc = GetDC(hwnd); SelectObject(hdc,CreateHat
Polygon(hdc, apt, NUM_POINTS);
DeleteObject(GetStockObjec
ReleaseDC(hwnd, hdc
What is actually happening here in reality? What do you see happening after each line executes and why is it wrong?
Help me understand the rationale behind hdc and Selecting / Deleting "objects" in Win32.
Thanks!

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
With Polyline you don't need the brush.
Don't forget that even if you allocate the pen once for drawing your letters, you should still
-Draw, over the previously drawn letters with the currently selected pen, which I'll assume is white
-Select your pen, saving old pen
-Figure out where new letters should go
-Draw letters
-Select old pen
GetDC returns the client area only. To get the entire window, call GetWindowDC.

Just looked at me 'ol notes on GDI and it appears it doesn't do any harm to delete stock pens and brushes.
So, the following is O.K.:
HBRUSH hbrush = GetStockBrush(LTGRAY_BRUSH
HBRUSH holdbrush = SelectBrush(hdc,hbrush);
"Do whatever code"
SelectBrush(hdc,holdbrush)
DeleteBrush(hbrush);
BUT, you can skip the call to DeleteBrush since it's a stock brush.
My assumption in my above comment is bad. The default pen is black so, to erase the previous stuff, you need to the the stock pen white, select it, then erase what you drew before.

I have not had a chance to try PolyLine instead of Polygon.
You have some good advice, I think. As soon as I get a chance to try it out, I'll come back here and give you the points.
Thanks!

I don't remember accepting this answer, but "okay".
Did you get PoloyLine to work?

You should give us a hint what your problem is when posting some hundred lines of code ...
