Hi .. thanks for your replies ..
i kind of found out the reason why this happens ..
its because of redefining my OnPaint function for my custom static
control .. when i have no definition, the refreshing works fine and
when i have an onPaint only the invalid part is updated leaving the
rest intact .. i dont know what other functions are responsible for
updating the remaining part of the window ... Only a redefinition
without adding a single line of code, is halting the update of the
client area .. I have absolutely no idea why ..

Where are you creating this control? In OnInitDialog? Make sure the
dialog exists when you do this. Also, where have you declared
m_wndChild? Is it a class member? When you debug it, can you confirm if
it got created correctly?
