Owner-Drawn Status Windows
You can define individual parts of a status window to be owner-drawn parts.
Using this technique gives you more control than you would otherwise have over
the appearance of the window part. For example, you can display a bitmap rather
than text in a part or draw text using a different font.
To define a window part as owner-drawn, send the
SB_SETTEXT message to the status window, specifying the part and the SBT_OWNERDRAW
drawing technique. When SBT_OWNERDRAW is specified, the
lParam parameter is a 32-bit application-defined value that the application can use
when drawing the part. For example, you can specify a font handle, a bitmap
handle, a pointer to a string, and so on.
When a status window needs to draw an owner-drawn part, it sends the
WM_DRAWITEM message to the parent window. The
wParam parameter of the message is the child window identifier of the status window,
and the
lParam parameter is a pointer to a
DRAWITEMSTRUCT structure. The parent window uses the information in the structure to draw
the part. For an owner-drawn part of a status window,
DRAWITEMSTRUCT contains the following information.
