ICM_DRAW_WINDOW message

The ICM_DRAW_WINDOW message notifies a rendering driver that the window specified for the ICM_DRAW_BEGIN message needs to be redrawn. The window has moved or become temporarily obscured. You can send this message explicitly or by using the ICDrawWindow macro.

ICM_DRAW_WINDOW 
wParam = (DWORD_PTR) (LPVOID) prc; 
lParam = 0; 

Parameters

prc

Pointer to the destination rectangle in screen coordinates. If this parameter points to an empty rectangle, drawing should be turned off.

Return Value

Returns ICERR_OK if successful or an error otherwise.

Remarks

This message is supported by hardware that performs its own asynchronous decompression, timing, and drawing.

Video-overlay drivers use this message to draw when the window is obscured or moved. When a window specified for ICM_DRAW_BEGIN is completely hidden by other windows, the destination rectangle is empty. Drivers should turn off video-overlay hardware when this condition occurs.
