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

Syntax

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.

fRestore
Reserved member. It is used internally by Windows.
