    CRgn is an MFC class wrapper for the HRGN handle as used by the API. You have to declare a CRgn object, then attach it to the HRGN handle:

    Code:
    HRGN m_hUpdateRgn;
    CRgn MyRgn;
    
    GetUpdateRgn(m_hUpdateRgn,0);
    MyRgn.FromHandle(m_hUpdateRgn);
    CPaintDC dc(m_hWnd);
    dc.FrameRgn(MyRgn,NULL,4,4);
