Hi, I am working on a program that spawns a child window and prints some
text on it, for some reason this child window constantly get WM_PAINT message
even though it's not blocked by any other window.  

any suggestions would be greately appreciated...

The only thing I can think of is that the child window always receives
at least one WM_PAINT message (when it is first displayed), and if you
don't do at least BeginPaint/EndPaint for this message, then you will 
keep receiving it.  (BTW, this is what DefWindowProc does for WM_PAINT).
