A scroll bar mystery

Hi, I''ve been trying to work with this scroll bar but it seems that it does not repaint properly ie. all I get are scrabbled letters. I have hereby attached my WM_PAINT for advice.
  
case WM_PAINT:
    si.cbSize = sizeof(si);
    si.fMask = SIF_POS;
    GetScrollInfo(hwnd,SB_VERT,&si);
    iVScrollPos = si.nPos;
    si.cbSize = sizeof(si);
    si.fMask = SIF_POS;
    GetScrollInfo(hwnd,SB_HORZ,&si);
    iHScrollPos = si.nPos;

    hdc = BeginPaint(hwnd,&ps);
    iPaintBeg = min(NUMLINES-1,iVScrollPos + 
                   (ps.rcPaint.top/icychar));
    iPaintEnd = max(0,iVScrollPos + (ps.rcPaint.bottom/icychar));

    for(i=iPaintBeg;i<=iPaintEnd;i++)
    {
	x = (icxchar * (1-iHScrollPos));
	y = (icychar * (i-iVScrollPos));
	TextOut(hdc,x,y,SYSMET2[i].szTag,
                lstrlen(SYSMET2[i].szTag));
	TextOut(hdc,(x+(icxcap*20)),y,SYSMET2[i].szDescription,
                    lstrlen(SYSMET2[i].szDescription));
	SetTextAlign(hdc,TA_TOP|TA_RIGHT);
	TextOut(hdc,(x+(icxcap*20)+(icxchar*40)),y,szBuffer,
                     wsprintf(szBuffer,"%5d",
                     GetSystemMetrics(SYSMET2[i].nIndex)));
	SetTextAlign(hdc,TA_TOP|TA_LEFT);
    }
    EndPaint(hwnd,&ps);
    return 0;
  
A thousand thanks in advance

"Savagerx", do you make an effort to look for answers yourself @ MSDN? Even though this is a beginner section, it does not mean that you can get easy answers without breaking a sweat. Go work for it!

MSDN offers quite a number of valuable information for Windows Programming.


ANNOY
An explanation of what this code does, what your problem is, and some comments in the code will be really helpful.

I see that you declare all your local variables outside of switch. Do you know you can do the following:

  switch (...){    case 1:    {        int var = 2;        ...;        break;    }    case 2:    {        int yet_another_var = 3;        ...;        break;    }}
