Any way to paint an opening window bright white?

Probably a @Spriggsy question.

I have a window I need to use WS_THICKBORDER to put just enough border around to make it resizable. The trouble is black windows leave a small black row when you use palette 7, 63: color 0, 7: CLS to white out the window. See a screen capture here: https://qb64phoenix.com/forum/showthread...2#pid10802

So is there something made up to paint a window background with Win32 API and would doing so get rid of that ugly black row near the top?

Hmmmmmmmmm..... Maybe you could look at BeginPaint and EndPaint? Never really tried just painting a window.

Hmm... that looks familiar!
   
   

Doubt paint is the problem.
