How do I fix my resize function - winapi

This is all the code I have. The functions begining with zx are just so that when I'm done I can quickly put together a custom library based on those functions. The function I need help with is zxResizeGL which is used only on the WM_SIZE event atm.

Microsoft says WM_SIZE messages are sent (not posted) and thus come in via WindowProc().
PeekMessage() can only retrieve posted messages.
Handle WM_SIZE in your WindowProc().

After having tried a break point I noticed I was not receiving the WM_SIZE event, will investigate alternate ways to perform resize. For now I will put the zxResizeGL in the drawing loop

C++ Transparent image using windows.h / WinAPI

I'm trying to make a custom title bar/border and I want it to be half transparent. When I load the image it works fine, but as soon, as I make even just 1 pixel from 255 opacity to 254, it just shows a white image.
Help would really be appreciated!
I use the windows.h library.
I use a resource ( .rc ) file to get the location of the images.
Don't think about where im doing things right, it's just for testing. I know it's not very efficient.
The Code!

It is recommended to use LockBits with PixelFormat32bppARGB in GDI+.

How do I make a static control with custom width and color?

To change the static's control color and width, I did process the WM_NCPAINT message, but it's not working properly:
the text isn't properly displayed. Should I draw it in this message? When I call SetWindowText(), the new text is properly set, but I still have the issue #2.
after a call to SetWindowText(), the text is set, but the border differs, it's smaller than the one I've draw in the WM_NCPAINT message.
Here's how I'm handling WM_NCPAINT:
case WM_NCPAINT:
{
PAINTSTRUCT ps;
HDC dc = BeginPaint(hwnd, &ps);
RECT rt = {0};
GetClientRect(hwnd, &rt);
HPEN pen = CreatePen(PS_SOLID, 3, RGB(255, 0, 0));
HPEN holdPen = SelectObject(dc, pen);
DrawBorder(dc, &rt);
SelectObject(dc, holdPen);
EndPaint(hwnd, &ps);
DeleteObject(pen);
pen = NULL;
return 0;
}
When the application starts, the static control border looks like the one I've draw at WM_NCPAINT:
But once I call SetWindowText(), for example, from a button click, it looks like this:
What am I missing?

Your static control does not have a transparent background, so when you call the SetWindowText function, the static control partially covers the external lines you draw.
You can add the following code in WndProc:
case WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC:
{
HDC hdcStatic = (HDC)wParam;
SetBkMode(hdcStatic, TRANSPARENT);
return (LRESULT)GetStockObject(NULL_BRUSH);
}
But this code tells the static control to draw the text without a background color and not to repaint the background. So the new text is drawn on top of the old text instead of on a fresh background.You can refer to this thread to try to solve it.
Of course, you can also extend the boundary of the straight line when drawing a straight line (you do not need to process the WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC message), as shown in the following code:
void DrawBorder(HDC hdc, RECT* rect)
{
DrawLine(hdc, rect->left - 3, rect->top - 3, rect->left - 3, rect->bottom + 3) ;
DrawLine(hdc, rect->left - 3, rect->top - 3, rect->right + 3, rect->top - 3);
DrawLine(hdc, rect->right + 3, rect->top - 3, rect->right + 3, rect->bottom + 3);
DrawLine(hdc, rect->left - 3, rect->bottom + 3, rect->right + 3, rect->bottom + 3);
}
This is the modified effect:

Make a win32 window transparent to messages (click, touch, keyboard)

I created a semi transparent window using the source code from this discussion (posted by wilkie):
How to make an OpenGL rendering context with transparent background?
It works, but I would like my window not to pick up mouse, touch and keyboard click messages.
But above all, I would like these messages (click, touch, keyboard) to be received by the application located below my transparent window.
Example:
My transparent window (TOP_MOST) is located on top of NotePad ++. If I click on my transparent window, I want this click to be received by NotePad++ and not by my transparent window.
I did not find valid answers on the Internet.
I see two possibilities:
_ Make my window transparent to all messages
_ Or my transparent window must receive the messages, not react and redirect them by sending them to the window located below.
In both cases, I don't know how to do it :)
Is it possible ?

You can add the WS_EX_LAYERED style when creating the form, and set the opacity of the window through the SetLayeredWindowAttributes function.
HWND hWnd = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_LAYERED | WS_EX_APPWINDOW | WS_EX_TOPMOST | WS_EX_TRANSPARENT, szAppName, wcWndName,
WS_VISIBLE | WS_POPUP, 200, 150, w, h,

If it can help other peoples, if you want to do the same thing with QT:
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
_glWidget = new MyOpenGLWidget(this); // derived from: public QOpenGLWidget, protected QOpenGLFunctions_3_3_Core
setAttribute(Qt::WA_InputMethodTransparent);
setAttribute(Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground, true);
setAttribute(Qt::WA_TransparentForMouseEvents);
SetForegroundWindow((HWND)winId());
setWindowFlags(Qt::Window | Qt::FramelessWindowHint |Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint);
ui->verticalLayout->addWidget(_glWidget);

Windows XP repaints OpenGL application without any messages

I'm using Windows XP with a pretty old Intel video adapter (82945G). It supports OpenGL 1.1.
There is a simple OpenGL application. It processes WM_PAINT message and draws the scene.
The problem is that when I press the Start button the window gets completely erased. Some rubbish appears there. The same situation is happening when I hover cursor on close button and a tooltip appears.
I have checked that the application receives no messages during that.
Something makes me think that windows just repaints desktop and erases my window. How could I avoid that?
Run the application. Make sure that window is on the desktop. Resize it a bit. the press start button or hover cursor over close button and waint until tooltip appear.

Cairo linear gradient with Win32 double buffering

I'm trying to make Cairo work in a Win32 window. The idea is just to make it render flicker-free.
If I create a Cairo surface directly with the window's HDC, then the window will flicker on resizing. That's normal, and expected. The usual solution is to create a compatible device context and render to a bitmap, then blit that bitmap to the window HDC.
The problem is that the same drawing code that worked when using the window's HDC doesn't work on the double-buffer device context. I just get a black square rather than a gradient circle.
Here's a small, functional example. If you comment out the #define DOUBLE_BUFFER line, then it will draw the Cairo rendering directly to the window's HDC. Otherwise, it will draw to the created one.
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <tchar.h>
#include <cairo.h>

Try calling CreateCompatibleBitmap with the original device context (hdc) as parameter instead. Otherwise I believe you'll get one based on the default monochrome dummy bitmap of the supposedly-compatible DC you just created.
