Because Windows makes "erase background" when it wants to re-draw your
window.

You have to process WM_PAINT.

Perhaps, you do something wrong with gnavi. I didn't use it, so I can't
tell. It seems that neither your program nor gnavi process WM_PAINT, so
once erased window stay blank. As a guess, maybe you have told to gnavi (or
else it is always so) that your window is "owner-draw", so it does not
attempt to do anything about WM_PAINT.
