I would like to find out if anyone knows how to intercept the WM_PAINT
message of an application that is not yours.  If you have any code,
that would be a great help.  I know about the SetWindowsHookEx API
call, but I can't get it to trigger my function that I have defined
within my application when the external application gets the WM_PAINT
call.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

        What you want to do here is some subclassing. You use SetWindowLong
to change the main window procedure for the external application to a
procedure of your own devising (in a dll). You save the address of the
original window procedure and most of the time you just pass the message
to the original procedure with CallWindowProc; when you get a WM_PAINT
message you do whatever.

Don't you guys find it tedious typing the same thing

I know I do, but when in Rome...
