Question about CFPCWnd::OnPaint(...)

[twright]

I'm using a windowless implementation. I have a situation where the WM_PAINT messages occassionally stops getting generated so that CFPCWnd::OnPaint( ) never gets called and the sfw movie appears like its not playing. For a windowless situation, how do the WM_PAINT messages get generated? Is the Flash ActiveX control causing them to be generated or is the F-In-Box code doing it?

Thanks for any help with this.

Thank you for your question.

Is it possible to reproduce the behavior?

For a windowless situation, how do the WM_PAINT messages get generated?

Even when a flash movie is in the transparent mode, there is a window (HWND).

When a movie needs to update, it calls:
InvalidateRect(LPCRECT pRect, BOOL fErase);
or
InvalidateRgn(HRGN hRGN, BOOL fErase);

See implementation of this methods. They call InvalidateRect, which causes WM_PAINT is sending to the window and UpdateLayeredWindow is called (as far as I understand, you write about case when WS_EX_LAYERED used, right?).

Thank you.
