Drawing to screen dc

[softwareguy74]

After drawing to the screen dc, with say a pen, how do you then refresh the screen to get rid of what you just drew?

The only thing I can do right now is to move a window around to wipe out the drawing. But there has got to be a way to refresh the screen.

Someone suggested the RedrawWindow API but unfortunately, this does not work because the screen is not a window and therefore does not have a handle. Although you can pass a Null handle in to RedraWindow, that repaints the desktop, which is not the screen.

So I guess the real question is, after drawing to a dc, how do you refresh it without resorting to repainting the window?

Any help would be appreciated..

Form refresh in the right hand. Turn it to true?
That might work?
It is a shot in the dark
