    My comment:
    The window region determines the area within the window where the system permits drawing. The system does not display any portion of a window that lies outside of the window region.

    The system owns the region and deletes the handle when it is no longer needed

    When testing this code sample in VFP6, replace ThisForm.hWnd with GetFocus() calls.
