PAINTSTRUCT Structure

  • Article

The PAINTSTRUCT structure contains information that can be used to paint the client area of a window.

typedef struct tagPAINTSTRUCT { 
   HDC hdc; 
   BOOL fErase; 
   RECT rcPaint; 
   BOOL fRestore; 
   BOOL fIncUpdate; 
   BYTE rgbReserved[16]; 
} PAINTSTRUCT;

Parameters

  • hdc

  • rcPaint
    Specifies the upper left and lower right corners of the rectangle in which the painting is requested.
