Redraw item in OWNERDRAW menu

[Trong Q. Ha]

Hi,
Is there any way to redraw the arrow of a submenu in an OWNERDRAW menuitem?
Nomatter how I draw the menuitem which is a submenu, the system still draw
its arrow. So if anyone could provide any direction or hints then that would
be great.

Thanks,

Brandon Ha

I guess you mean is there any way to stop the submenu arrow being drawn?

This is an old Windows bug which I suppose cannot be fixed for compatibility
reasons. The workaround I use is to call ExcludeClipRect just before
returning from WM_DRAWITEM.

Thanks a lot Jim! it really works with ExcludeClipRect.... and there is
another question... Do you know how we could get the handle to the chevron
of a toolbar so we can redraw it? I handle the CUSTOMDRAW Notification but I
got problem to check where the chevron shows up and if it shows up then how
can we redraw it?

Thanks Jim,
