The previous code was perfectly valid. Why did you change it? If GetUpdateRect returns FALSE then there's no need to call BeginPaint...
Possibly I fixed it wrong. Try minimizing the window with the old code. This will set the WINDOWOBJECT_NEED_NCPAINT flag. As a result, an endless stream of WM_PAINT messages is generated, 'cause that flag is never reset. Calling BeginPaint resets the flag.
