WM_DRAWITEM never called

[Zolix2010]

hi,
i created a window and in the WM_CREATE created a button.
when the button style is PUSH_BUTTON i see it. but when it's ownerdraw WM_DRAWITEM never called and i cant catch the event to draw the button.

Can't guess, let us see some code..

Other than specifying BS_OWNERDRAW as the style, there's not too much you can have wrong. One thing that always messes me up is that the WM_DRAWITEM message is sent to the parent, so make sure you're capturing it there, and not from the child.

Like kkez said, some code would help.

well i found my problem(s):
1. BS_OWNERDRAW should be with ws_visible and ws_child
- visible for to see it and need to draw it (DRAWITEM it)
- child for the parent window to catch the DRAWITEM.

2. my class destructed in the first wm_drawitem event bcuz of a bug (pointer that got out of order)

thanks for your attantion :)
