 PAINTSTRUCT

The PAINTSTRUCT structure contains information for an application. This information can be used to paint the client area of a window owned by that application.

typedef struct tagPAINTSTRUCT { 
  HDC  hdc; 
  BOOL fErase; 
  RECT rcPaint; 
  BOOL fRestore; 
  BOOL fIncUpdate; 
  BYTE rgbReserved[32]; 
} PAINTSTRUCT, *PPAINTSTRUCT;
