UpdateWindow API will send WM_PAINT message to the given window handle.

just looking at the code, it's already got update window in it, and releaseDC, but the text stays

Release the DC before you attempt to refresh and update the window. Along with that try making a call to:

1. ReleaseDC
2. InvalidateRect
3. RedrawWindow
4. UpdateWindow
