Hi, is this all within the WM_PAINT handler? If not, it needs to be. This is most likely just code in progress, but just to mention, the LICE_FillRect is entirely redundant with the LICE_Clear call, and the text won't show up because it's white on white.

If you wish to draw into the window at any time, you can use GetDC()/ReleaseDC(), but generally you should try to invalidate/paint as schwa describes when possible.
