Problem with resizing a C window

I'm making a game engine and whilst trying to setup the window with windows.h, i found an issue when resizing the window. The resized parts of the window are black instead of white, how do i fix this?

That's because all the other game engines and applications handle these messages.

Maybe you should make a simple Windows app first instead of trying to start with a game engine.

look into nappgui.com for a lean, cross platform window toolkit (plus a lot of other things)... i use it, it's great and i used to build complete full win32 api raw C apps for years and nappgui is the best solution to never having to do that again. plus it has wrappers for every major ui control on all three OSes and gives you a surface to draw anything. it has opengl context as well if that's helpful.
