Subclassing WM_PAINT of windows controls

[Daniel Kim]

Hi

I have subclassed some of windows controls, such as edit box and combo box.
I did this to modify texts and draw it in my way.
And I found some strange behavior. I have subclassed WM_PAINT message, but
the controls paint strings without WM_PAINT message.
So the modified text-which I did- is drawn, and the original text is drawn,
too.
I have no idea how to handle this. Do you know where those controls draws
texts?

Thanks!

With BR,

Controls like the EDIT control are designed with the assumption that
they will receive many more user input messages than WM_PAINT messages.
User input usually changes a small part of the control window (such as a
single character) and it is more efficient to redraw that small part of
the window in the user input message handler rather than the whole
window. WM_PAINT, on the other hand, has to be prepared to redraw the
entire window.
