RE: RECT type ?
to write to it (the second param of WriteDWORD is the value)
code:
var RECT = Interop.Allocate(16); //long = 4 so size = 4 * 4
RECT.WriteDWORD(0, 0); //left
RECT.WriteDWORD(4, 0); //Top
RECT.WriteDWORD(8, 0); //Right
RECT.WriteDWORD(12, 0); //Bottom


to read it

code:

var RECT = Interop.Allocate(16); //long = 4 so size = 4 * 4
//pass to some api function where it changes it

var left = RECT.ReadDWORD(0); //left
var top = RECT.ReadDWORD(4); //Top
var right = RECT.ReadDWORD(8); //Right
var bottom = RECT.ReadDWORD(12); //Bottom

RE: RECT type ?
code:
Interop.Call('user32', 'RedrawWindow', ChatWnd.Handle, 0, 0, 0x001 /* RDW_INVALIDATE */);

This would be better to use. Just send the window the WM_PAINT message to have it paint itself.
code:
Interop.Call('user32', 'SendMessageW', ChatWnd.Handle, 0x000F /* WM_PAINT */, 0, 0);

RE: RECT type ?
if you havent solved the problem yet look into the InvalidateRect API that's how i made the windows repaint. i don't have any code on here anymore to show you though.

edit:
code:
Interop.Call('user32', 'InvalidateRect', WindowHandle, 0, False);

should be what your looking for.

vb code (it work):
code:
Private Declare Function RedrawWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, lprcUpdate As RECT, ByVal hrgnUpdate As Long, ByVal fuRedraw As Long) As Long
Private Type RECT
        Left As Long
        Top As Long
        Right As Long
        Bottom As Long
End Type

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Print "test.."
Dim theRECT As RECT
theRECT.Left = 0
theRECT.Top = 0
theRECT.Right = 0
theRECT.Bottom = 0
Call RedrawWindow(Me.hwnd, theRECT, 1, 1)
End Sub


how I can use this code (correctly) in scripting ? :D

RE: RE: RECT type ?
code:
    Var Wnd = MsgPlus.CreateWnd(... ) (im assuming you've created the window and stuff? if you have Var Wnd will hold the Handle (Me.hwnd in VB))
    var theRECT = Interop.Allocate(16); //long = 4 so size = 4 * 4
    theRECT .WriteDWORD(0, 0); //left
    theRECT .WriteDWORD(4, 0); //Top
    theRECT .WriteDWORD(8, 0); //Right
    theRECT .WriteDWORD(12, 0); //Bottom
   Interop.Call('user32', 'RedrawWindow', Wnd, theRECT, 1, 1);
