Ownerdrawn Combbox

hi
I am creating an ownerdrawn combo box. I will need to display
icons/images in the edit portion of the combobox. I retreived the
handles of Edit and List portions with ComboBoxInfo structure. Then I
created a class inherited from NativeWindow. This class is assigned the
handle of EditBox of combo so that I can handle the WM_PAINT event only
for the Edit portion. So far everything good. But the problem I am
facing is that The EditBox gets continuously painted and there is lots
of flickering in that area. Can anybody help me to understad the what
went wrong?

thanks

Hello, The code below represents a simple ownerdrawn, Listview class in C#. Its purpose is to avoid the flicker of the MS ListView. So I can't fall back to their one. Does anybody know why I cannot change the size of the ListView's font (ListView.Font) from e.g.

Have a look at the code below. It's a really simple example where I have added two controls to a form, a textbox and a combo box. Both add owner drawn context menus to the controls, but the combobox will NOT draw custom drawn context menu item. I have tried EVERYTHING (deriving from MenuItem and even tried calling TrackPopupMenuEx directly), but it just won't work! I am currently reflecting over the combobox source code (oh joy!), but...

Hi, I'm having some trouble drawing items in controls that I've marked as ownerdrawn. I'm currently developing an application that has ownerdrawn statusbar panels, and a listbox that contains ownerdrawn items. Both controls behave irratically: The statusbar panels draw fine (the point is to draw an image in them),

Hi there! I have successfully create my own ownerdrawn menus. However, I decided to add some code for the menus to detect if their parent is a MainMenu object and, if it is, as it is the menuitem beeing displayed in the form's menu bar, it draws it differently. So far so good. But there are two thing I can't get around. 1 - How can I draw a custom menu when the mouse is over the menu item but the user hasn't clicked it, just like in...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
