Does anyone remember the trick to refreshing the inner window frame of a 
window?  (I guess 'inner window frame' is the correct thing to call it, 
but Googling doen't find any references.)  I am referring to the inner 
beveled border between a window and a child of itself.

I put a graphic up at the following URL showing the window area I am 
talking about.

I have tried 'InvalidateRect(hwnd, NULL, TRUE)', followed by an 
UpdateWindow, but the inner frame is NOT refreshed, and the underlying 
desktop area shows through.  I remember facing this in the past, and I 
believe it was solved by some obscure SendMessage parameter, but I 
cannot recall it.


Thanks,
David
