I have a really funny draw problem that I don't know how to solve,
much less what it is.

When some other window lays over the text that I'm writing it "bleeds"
all over the desktop.  I can reproduce it and has of now the only way
to solve it, is to not place anything over that area, but other people
I don't think will like that.

Here is the paint part of my code...

/************** Code *********************/
/* Define parameters by type	*/
HAB  hab;				/* PM anchor block handle	*/
PSZ  pszErrMsg;
HPS hps=0;		 		/* Presentation space handle	*/
POINTL pt;				/* String screen coordinates	*/
HMQ  hmq;				/* Message queue handle		*/
HWND hwndClient = NULLHANDLE;		/* Client area window handle	*/
HWND hwndFrame = NULLHANDLE;		/* Frame window handle		*/
QMSG qmsg;				/* Message from message queue	*/
ULONG flCreate;				/* Window creation control flags*/
RECTL rect;

node_t node;
 
INT main (VOID)
{
/*** cut out setup ****/
  while (1)
    {
	if ( Toggle_NS )
	{
          while( WinPeekMsg( hab, &qmsg, 0L, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE ) &&
(qmsg.msg != WM_QUIT) )           {             WinDispatchMsg( hab,
&qmsg );           }
          if (qmsg.msg == WM_QUIT) break;

	  WinInvalidateRect( hwndClient, 0L, FALSE );
	  hps = WinBeginPaint ( hwndClient, 0L, 0L );
	  WinQueryWindowRect( hwndClient, &rect);

          pt.x = 20; 
          pt.y = rect.yTop-30;
          GpiSetColor( hps, CLR_NEUTRAL );
          GpiSetBackColor( hps, CLR_DEFAULT );
          GpiSetBackMix( hps, BM_OVERPAINT );

     
                 GpiCharStringAt( hps, &pt, (LONG)strlen(szNode),
szNode );                WinEndPaint(hps); 	      DosSleep(300); 	}
    }
}

Thanks in advance for the help.
