Drawing on transparent window

Hi,

I have this kind of class:

this class is suppose to give an ability to draw rectangle on the
desktop
(on top of everything).

All works well except: when I'm drawing the rectangle with mouse the
transparent window doesn't remove the old, already drawn, rectangles in
order
to draw a new one with right dimensions.

All rectangles from every redraw are staing on the window.

How do I solve this problem?

Hi,

What is CSplashWnd? It's not part of the standard.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include "stdafx.h"

Oh, must be some sort of Windows header.

By asking in a windows group. This is off topic here.
