DRAWITEMSTRUCT
The DRAWITEMSTRUCT
structure provides information the owner window must have to determine how
to paint an owner-drawn control or menu item. The owner window of the
owner-drawn control or menu item receives a pointer to this structure as the lParam
parameter of the WM_DRAWITEM

Members
CtlType
Specifies the
control type. This member can be one of the following values:
Value |
Meaning |
ODT_BUTTON |
Owner-drawn
button |
ODT_COMBOBOX |
Owner-drawn
combo box |
ODT_LISTBOX |
Owner-drawn
list box |
ODT_LISTVIEW |
List view
control |
ODT_MENU |
Owner-drawn
menu item |
ODT_STATIC |
Owner-drawn

ODT_TAB |

CtlID
Specifies the
identifier of the combo box, list box, button, or static control. This member
is not used for a menu item.
itemID
Specifies the
menu item identifier for a menu item or the index of the item in a list box or
combo box. For an empty list box or combo box, this member can be -1. This allows the application to draw only the focus
rectangle at the coordinates specified by the rcItem member even though
there are no items in the control. This indicates to the user whether the list
box or combo box has the focus. How the bits are set in the itemAction
member determines whether the rectangle is to be drawn as though the list box
or combo box has the focus.
itemAction
Specifies the
drawing action required. This member can be one or more of the following
values:
Value |
Meaning |
ODA_DRAWENTIRE |
The entire
control needs to be drawn. |
ODA_FOCUS |
The control
has lost or gained the keyboard focus. The itemState member should be
checked to determine whether the control has the focus. |
ODA_SELECT |
The
selection status has changed. The itemState member should be checked
to determine the new selection state. |
itemState
Specifies the
visual state of the item after the current drawing action takes place. This
member can be a combination of the following values:
Value |
Meaning |
ODS_CHECKED |
The menu
item is to be checked. This bit is used only in a menu. |
ODS_COMBOBOXEDIT |
The drawing
takes place in the selection field (edit control) of an ownerdrawn combo box. |
ODS_DEFAULT |
The item is
the default item. |
ODS_DISABLED |
The item is
to be drawn as disabled. |
ODS_FOCUS |
The item
has the keyboard focus. |
ODS_GRAYED |
The item is
to be grayed. This bit is used only in a menu. |
ODS_SELECTED |
The menu
item s status is selected. |
hwndItem
Identifies
the control for combo boxes, list boxes, buttons, and static controls. For
menus, this member identifies the menu containing the item.
hDC
Identifies a
device context; this device context must be used when performing drawing
operations on the control.
rcItem
Specifies a
rectangle that defines the boundaries of the control to be drawn. This
rectangle is in the device context specified by the hDC member. Windows
automatically clips anything the owner window draws in the device context for
combo boxes, list boxes, and buttons, but does not clip menu items. When
drawing menu items, the owner window must not draw outside the boundaries of
the rectangle defined by the rcItem member.
itemData
Specifies the
application-defined 32-bit value associated with the menu item. For a control,
this parameter specifies the value last assigned to the list box or combo box
by the LB_SETITEMDATA
CB_ADDSTRING
CB_INSERTSTRING
LB_ADDSTRING
LB_INSERTSTRING
If ctlType is ODT_BUTTON or ODT_STATIC, itemData is zero.
