I have a ATL/WTL SDI application. I am trying to write a message on the
initial display of a derived class of CListViewCtrl
(CWindowImpl<MyListCtrl, CListViewCtrl>). Yet the WM_PAINT message never
gets to the OnPaint override.

I created MyListCtrl using the CMainFrame view as the parent window
handle:

MyListCtrl     list_view;
   .
   .
   .
   RECT rect;
   ::GetClientRect(hWnd, &rect);

   HWND h = list_view.Create(hWnd, _U_RECT(rect),
CListViewCtrl::GetWndClassName(),
                                                WS_CHILD        |
                                                WS_VISIBLE      |
                                                WS_CLIPSIBLINGS |
                                                WS_CLIPCHILDREN |
                                                LVS_REPORT,
                                                WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE);

class MyListCtrl : public CWindowImpl<MyListCtrl, CListViewCtrl>
{
public:
 MyListCtrl();
 virtual ~MyListCtrl();

public:
   BEGIN_MSG_MAP(MyListCtrl)
      MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_PAINT, OnPaint);
   END_MSG_MAP()

public:
 LRESULT OnPaint(UINT /*uMsg*/, WPARAM /*wParam*/, LPARAM /*lParam*/,
BOOL& /*bHandled*/);

I would have thought that the Message Map would have could the WM_PAINT
and process it according. Any suggestions on how to handle this or why
this approach is invalid?

Thanks for your help...
