PAINTSTRUCT Structure

  • Article

The PAINTSTRUCT structure has the following form:

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

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