Could anyone can told me what's the problems? thank you very much.

Answer 1

I have seen the same example, but my constructor looks different. See the code below

MyCustomControl::MyCustomControl()
{
    //Register My window class
    RegisterWndClass();

    flag=FALSE; //Sets the drawing flag off
}

You are also missing the implementation of the MESSAGE_MAP
