Using Owner-Drawn Buttons
The parent window of an owner-drawn button typically responds to at least
three messages for the button: WM_INITDIALOG, WM_COMMAND, and WM_DRAWITEM. It is not necessary to process the WM_MEASUREITEM message for owner-drawn buttons.
When you must paint an owner-drawn button, Windows sends the parent window a
WM_DRAWITEM message whose lParam points to a DRAWITEMSTRUCT structure. Use this structure with all owner-drawn controls to provide the
application with the information it requires to paint the control. The itemAction and itemState members of the DRAWITEMSTRUCT structure define how to paint an owner-drawn button.
The following example shows how to process WM_INITDIALOG, WM_DRAWITEM, and
WM_COMMAND messages for owner-drawn buttons. This example demonstrates how to draw
one of two bitmaps for a control, depending on whether the control is
selected. You would typically use the wParam parameter of the WM_DRAWITEM message to identify the control; in this
example, only one control is assumed.
LRESULT APIENTRY OwnDrawProc(hDlg, message, wParam, lParam)
HWND hDlg; // window handle of dialog box
UINT message; // type of message
UINT wParam; // message-specific information
LONG lParam;
{
HDC hdcMem;
LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT lpdis;
switch (message) {
case WM_INITDIALOG:
// hinst, hbm1 and hbm2 are defined globally.
hbm1 = LoadBitmap((HANDLE) hinst, "OwnBit1");
hbm2 = LoadBitmap((HANDLE) hinst, "OwnBit2");
return TRUE;
case WM_DRAWITEM:
lpdis = (LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT) lParam;
hdcMem = CreateCompatibleDC(lpdis->hDC);
if (lpdis->itemState & ODS_SELECTED) // if selected
SelectObject(hdcMem, hbm2);
else
SelectObject(hdcMem, hbm1);
// Destination
StretchBlt(
lpdis->hDC, // destination DC
lpdis->rcItem.left, // x upper left
lpdis->rcItem.top, // y upper left
// The next two lines specify the width and
// height.
lpdis->rcItem.right - lpdis->rcItem.left,
lpdis->rcItem.bottom - lpdis->rcItem.top,
hdcMem, // source device context
0, 0, // x and y upper left
32, // source bitmap width
32, // source bitmap height
SRCCOPY); // raster operation
DeleteDC(hdcMem);
return TRUE;
case WM_COMMAND:
if (wParam == IDOK
|| wParam == IDCANCEL) {
EndDialog(hDlg, TRUE);
return TRUE;
}
if (HIWORD(wParam) == BN_CLICKED) {
switch (LOWORD(wParam)) {
case IDB_OWNERDRAW:
.
. // application-defined processing
.
break;
}
}
break;
case WM_DESTROY:
DeleteObject(hbm1); // delete bitmaps
DeleteObject(hbm2);
break;
}
return FALSE;
UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER(lParam);
}

Nostalgia .Net |

.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
