Remarks

Calling this function causes the Desktop Window Manager (DWM) to invalidate its current bitmaps for the window and request new bitmaps from the window when they are next needed. _WinAPI_DwmInvalidateIconicBitmaps() should not be called frequently.
Doing so can lead to poor performance as new bitmaps are created and retrieved.

This function requires Windows 7 or later.
