This article was previously published under Q33096 SUMMARY
When an application uses the BeginPaint or GetDC function to obtain a device context (DC) for its client window and draws into this DC,
Windows clips the output to the edge of the client window. While this
is usually the desired effect, there are circumstances where an
application draws outside the client area of its window.
