me talking about: Owner draw listboxes to Simon Huggins
 GW> A control is not a handle. Try this:
[snip]
Thanks so much for that.
I fiddled around with your code and with Martin Maat's and got it working.
In the end I used:
temp:=(control as Tlistbox).items[index]+#0; {NB extra #0 char on end}
drawtext( (control as Tlistbox).canvas.handle, @temp, -1, Rect, 
T_WORDBREAK);
{NB -1 as length that way it can judge ;) }
in drawitem and...
temp:=(control as Tlistbox).items[index]+#0; {NB extra #0 char on end}
with (control as Tlistbox).canvas do
        r:=control.clientrect;
drawtext( (control as Tlistbox).canvas.handle,
          @temp,
          -1,        {NB -1 as length that way it can judge ;) }
          r,
          DT_WORDBREAK+DT_CALCRECT);
in measureitem
and
IT WORKS!!!!
THANK YOU and consider your self credited in my little app (I've already put
the label in the about box ;) )
Cheers,
