I am using the DrawItem event to draw a custom icon on a gallery item

The gallery item is set to style icon and caption (using the 11.2.1. beta). The galleryitem already has an icon assigned to it. This displays just fine. I am drawing another miniature icon custom beside it. This works.

Dim Icon As ImageManagerIcon

Set Icon = Me.ImageManagerPanel.Icons.GetImage(ID_AUDIO_AVAILABLE, 22)
Icon.Draw hdc, x + 150, y + 80, 22, 22, xtpImageNormal

The problem is that when the mouse hovers over an item, the custom drawn icon disappears. When the mouse is not hovering over the item, it will appear.

See image: http://img528.imageshack.us/my.php?image=imageam7.jpg

How can i draw the icon on the item so that it appears even when it is hovering over it. Is this a bug in 11.2.1?

Thank you.

Hi,

add

Handled = True

default implementation just draw above your icon.

Sorry, what I meant was - how can I determine when the user is hovering over an item?

ByVal Enabled As Boolean, ByVal Selected As Boolean, ByVal Pressed As Boolean, ByVal Checked As Boolean

As far as I can see, only Enabled turns up true when the DrawItem event is fired. I want redraw the item when it hovering over an item but how can I differentiate?

What is the recommended API way to draw text on a custom draw item?

Hi,

Public Declare Function DrawText Lib "user32" Alias "DrawTextA" (ByVal hdc As Long, ByVal lpStr As String, ByVal nCount As Long, lpRect As RECT, ByVal wFormat As Long) As Long

I must be doing something wrong then:

In the drawitem event I have

Dim rc as Rect

        rc.Top = Y
        rc.Left = X
        rc.Bottom = cy
        rc.Right = cx

        DrawText HDC, Item.Caption, -1, rc, 0&

handled=True

I see the first item caption in the list but not the others. Any suggestions?

Nevermind. I figured out that I had to use SetRect to specify the Rect and then pass that.

Is there a way I can make the text bold or change the color?

Nevermind. I created a font and got it to work as desired.
