Hi folks,
Does anyone know why the Pager common control (dlls/comctl32/pager.c)
implements WM_NCPAINT instead of WM_PAINT? It is the only exception
to the rule, all other controls implement WM_PAINT.
We need to scroll a child window. In order to do this we move the child window in the controls client area, using the clipping region that is automatically set around the client area. As the entire client area now consists of the child window, we must allocate space (WM_NCCALCSIZE) for the buttons and draw them as a non-client area (WM_NCPAINT).
This is all off the top of my head. I hope it makes sense.
