Gerard,
This patch greatly improves Visual C++'s painting behavior. Previously it had severe
problems where portions of the window wouldn't paint correctly or wouldn't paint at
all. Now there's one problem remaining and one new one (Both managed and unmanaged
modes behaved the same).
- The left strip of the editor where e.g. breakpoint icons appear still isn't right.
Without the patch it never paints at all (you see whatever's behind the window).
With the patch it paints properly on initial draw when you open a project, but all
refreshes of the window after that revert to the old broken behavior.
- The splash window doesn't appear at all now (without the patch it works fine).
Still, impressive improvement for a "quick and dirty" patch :-)
