More Win32 fun

Managed to set a timer to update the text on the screen every second, however, the window does not wipe itself clean after every update.

Code

After much research, came upon this solution: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms632599(VS.85).aspx#layered

Instead of

	hWnd = CreateWindow(szWindowClass, 0, 0,
	CW_USEDEFAULT, 0, CW_USEDEFAULT, 0, NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL);

I used

	hWnd = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_LAYERED, szWindowClass, 0, 0,
	CW_USEDEFAULT, 0, CW_USEDEFAULT, 0, NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL);
	SetLayeredWindowAttributes(hWnd,RGB(255,255,255), 0, LWA_COLORKEY);

That solved it. Code
