I'm new to native c++. Right now, I made it so when I press the left mouse button, it has a for loop that does InvalidateRect and draws a rectangle, and increments X by the box size each time it iterates. But, C++ is so much faster and efficient at drawing than C# that, it draws all this instantly. What I would like is for it to invalidate the rectangle, show the rectangle, wait 50ms, then continue the loop. I tried Sleep(50) but it still waits until painting is done before showing the result. I also tried PeekMessage but it did not change anything. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
