Redrawing window of Office application

[Andrey Dzizenko]

Hi there!


My application is an add-in to MS Office 2003. When you press a button the
form is opened.

So when trying to move that form MS Office window doesn't get any messages
and doesn't become invalidated. My form leaves a trace on the main form
window.

Maybe my form has some wrong parameters... Or maybe I need to invalidate
Office window manually...
What do you think?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.


Best regards,
Andrey Dzizenko.

That should not be happening - are you somehow stopping other apps
from processing their messages?

Nope.

Other apps get messages normally. Even if I open my form from e.g. MS Word
window, another MS Word window also gets messages.

I solved this problem by sending WM_PAINT to the Office window manually
when moving the form. But strange behavior of my windows is still
interesting for me =)

Which Office application are you opening the window over? Have you set
ScreenUpdating = False for that application? If yes, I'd expect to see what
you describe.
