Judging by the documentation , jj2007 speaks correctly. I can be wrong ... it seems to me that in the case of the button, and drawing the background / text, you just need to draw in the CDDS_PREPAINT notification. In fact, you will draw on top of how the system draws a button. Without a difference,...

You can draw or write anything you want on the bitmap.

Thanks for the reply. That's a good idea to experiment. Let me try.

Thanks for the answer. CDDS_PREPAINT worked perfectly.

@VANYA ,
If you use BS_OWNERDRAW style, you need to do the entire drawing. But in NM_CUSTOMDRAW, you only need to the required thing. Like, if you want to change the fore, just do only it. Don't worry about the rest of the things.

Hi all, I am trying to draw a button's back color in my win32 application. I am using NMCUSTOMDRAW struct to identify the draw stage. Here is the possible stages. CDDS_PREPAINT CDDS_POSTPAINT CDDS_PREERASE CDDS_POSTERASE I have used CDDS_POSTERASE stage to draw the back color and returns CDRF_DODEFA...

Sure. :)

@Kuan Hsu, Sure. :) Thanks for the effort. Edit :----------------------------- It's not working. What I did ; 1. Set compiler path. 2. Didn't change any options in custom compiler commands. 3. Opened my code file and click compile. - Error message - Compiler isn't existed......? Compiler Path Error!...

@Kuan Hsu, Thanks for the reply. When I set the custom command line option, ( -i ) I got an error message. "error 81: Invalid command-line option" I saw the images in your link.It contains an Apply button with a tick mark. I don't have any "Apply" button in my configuration windo...

@Kuan Hsu, Thanks a lot. I am sorry to bother you with feature requests. But if your time permits, I would like to add some more feature requests. Feel free to reject them if you don't have much time. For PoseidonFB 1. It's quite nice, if we have a right click context menu option in every tab to ope...

poseidonFB use fbc to compile files, it always files at first; except for 'Quick Run I think poseidonFB saves just the current file only. I wanted to save all opened files. Assume that we are a doing a simple project with 3 files. 2 "*.bi" files and one "*.bas" file. We wrote so...

@Vanya,
Thanks for the much needed library.
I just download it and started reading the chm file. When I read about the list, I found this.

list_type - List Type (Data Type to save in List) . Data type can be: any standart type , including pointers, except (any ptr)

Can I use my own UDT ?

Thanks for the link. Let me read. :)

If you're using WinFBX, you can use CWSTR instead of DWSTRING and the AfxStr functions instead of the DWStr ones. I have posted these variations to make them independent of my framework so that FBer's not wanting to use it for whatever reason can at least use unicode with Windows easily. I even hav...

@Josep Roca Got it. Thanks for the reply. :) This library is very useful to me. All of my free basic projects are Unicode based. So I use W letter win api functions. They need LPCWSTR type parameter and DWSTRING is perfect for it. I don't know how to express my gratitude. BTW, All your libraries are...

@ Josep Roca
When I use DWSTRING first time, I wrote code like this, But it failed. Then I found that there is an operator " * ". And everything worked perfectly. What prompted you to use " * " operator instead of "@" operator?
