code:

    while (TRUE)    {        if (PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_NOREMOVE))        {            if (!GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0))                return msg.wParam;            TranslateMessage(&msg);            DispatchMessage(&msg);        }        else if (g_bActive)        {            UpdateFrame(hWnd);        }        else        {            // Make sure we go to sleep if we have nothing else to do            WaitMessage();        }

This is from the Stretch DX7 example.

Ive noticed Mortal Kombat 4 updates the image where black usually appears.done?

I tried blitting the screen when WM_PAINT is called, but it seems if I put a function call in WM_PAINT the app causes a fatal error

Anyone know how it is done?
