Every time your a message Box appears
the application call the ON Draw function of the Framework.

So Make sure you draw that in the
On draw function function so that that
wevery time it erases something the background is not erased.
You may want to use the DOC?VIEW arch

You can solve this kinda prob in many ways

Hi.

Well you can create a memory dc (class CDC).

From the thread paint directly to the memory dc.

In the OnPaint or OnDraw function you can draw the memory dc (bitblt function).

here is a little example :

The thread object :

CDC pDC; // a global object
pDC.CreateCompatiableDC(YourObject->GetDC()).

The Thread painting func :

pDC.SetPixel(...) , or any other painting function supported by the CDC class.

Your Object OnPaint or OnDraw Function :

CPaintDC dc(this)

dc.Bitblt(x,y,cx,cy,&pDC,x,y,SRCCOPY)

that would do the work.

Hope i've Helped.
