About this tag
The paint handling tag on WindowsForum.com covers topics related to custom drawing and rendering in Windows applications, particularly using the Windows API and GDI. Discussions include drawing borders, background colors, and handling window procedures for custom controls. Code examples often involve WinMain, window procedures, and subclassing static controls to override default painting behavior.
