showwindow updatewindow..

The   ShowWindow   function,   contrary   to   what   you   might   assume,   does   only   a   portion   of   the   task   of   creating   (painting)   the   window   display.   It   is   principally   responsible   for   creating   the   window   frame,   caption   bar,   menu   bar,   and   minimize/maximize   buttons.   But   this   function   does   not   create   the   client   window   area—the   display   area   specific   to   the   application   itself.   Therefore,   one   more   function   call   is   necessary   before   the   window   display   is   complete:   a   call   to   the   UpdateWindow   function   with   the   hwnd   window   handle   as   an   argument   (this   call   actually   posts   a   WM_PAINT   message   to   the   application   instructing   it   to   repaint   its   own   window   area).
