Something else here must be wrong: WM_PAINT messages are generated only if
no other messages are in the message queue. So even if the update region
isn't validated, the dialog should still start up normally - using up all
CPU while doing so but still, it would not hang.
So something (plugin, hook, whatever) seems to be calling UpdateWindow() (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/dd145167.aspx ) to actually
force the constant redrawing without letting the app continue with the
normal message queue processing.
Assuming you have such a faulty plugin somewhere (SolidWorkds maybe?), then
my guess is that the default drawing of the control does not validate the
region because it knows that redrawing isn't necessary. If that's what's
happening here then the only 'solution' would really be to call
ValidateRect(NULL).
