redraw issue inside MFC modal dialog

[wundram]

I have a CEF browser inside a MFC Modal dialog window. It works fine, except that it is not repainting the window when it is dragged off screen, and back onto the screen. This only seems to happen when running inside a modal dialog. I checked with spy++, and the WM_PAINT messages are getting all the way to the WebViewHost host window, so it isn't a matter of the WM_PAINT messages being blocked. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Modal dialogs run their own message loop. If you're not using multi-threaded message loop mode you need to make sure that CefDoMessageLoopWork() is getting called while the dialog is visible.

I am using the multithreaded message loop. The problem turned out to be that I needed to override WM_ERASEBKGND on the outermost frame as well as on the view containing the browser.
