That was the first thing i did. I understand the concept of owner drawn
controls, like listboxes or combos. But in my case, i have a For i=... Next
loop and i want to pass the i index to a property (or to a method) in order
to use the graphics class and fill the bar. How can i do it?

Are you trying to get the graphics object for a particular panel? Is
that your question?

Set a breakpoint in the event handler and have a look at the callstack.
Probably it's in the statusbar's OnPaint method.

I'm trying to use an owner draw ListBox by subscribing to the DrawItem event to draw my custom control as an item in the ListBox. This event is triggered when I drag the scroll button but NOT when I click the up/down arrows on the scroll bar of the ListBox. How do I handle the user clicking the up/down arrows? Anybody have any ideas? Jim

I have an ownerdrawn listbox that paints items in various colors dependant upon whether or not it has focus, selected, etc. The code that physically paints the items is in the drawItem event, and it works... the items change colors accordingly and the end result is what I expected to get. But it feels sluggish, like it's painting redundant info or too many times, or something. So I carefully debugged the drawitem event and discovered...

I am handling the Listbox DrawItem event to enable the listbox strings to be displayed in different colours for easy reading. Have set ScrollAlwaysVisible and HorizontalScrollbar to true. I Anchor the listbox T, L, R, B on the parent form The string items held within the listbox are quite big, much longer than could be displayed within the Listbox display area.

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.
