You can download the free DRAW.DLL I made (which includes a demo
DSC file that uses PAINT) here:

http://www.vdsworld.com/index.php?page=download&fileid=47

This is from the VDS Help file (it's in the DIALOG command topic):

PAINT: This style will cause PAINT events to be generated whenever the dialog is redrawn. This occurs when it is resized (if RESIZABLE), restored or when any part of the dialog surface that has formerly been obscured by another window now becomes visible. This style is only likely to be of use to writers of extension DLLs that draw directly on to the surface of the dialog. It serves no useful purpose in any other context, since VDS itself takes care of redrawing all dialog elements that need to be redrawn. Because VDS events are not queued, it is recommended that resizable windows that also use PAINT events should treat both RESIZE and PAINT events the same, i.e.: the two labels are placed one after the other so the same event processing code is executed. Otherwise one or other event may be lost and the corresponding code not executed.
