Owner Drawn Trackbar (Slider) in a dialog

[Eric]

Hello everyone !

I would like to know how to code an owner drawn slider in a dialog box
? I know how to do it for a mere button (set the "owner draw" property
from the property page, then answer to the WM_DRAWITEM message in the
dialog box procedure).

Unfortunately, this seems not to be working for a trackbar control. How
to draw it ? How to manage the mobile part of the control ?

Any help would be welcome :)

Use Custom Draw

You mean, to catch WM_PAINT messages ?

I thought of this solution, but how do I manage the position of the
slider ? Is there an equivalent of a DRAWITEMSTRUCT that could give me
this information ?

No, NM_CUSTOMDRAW.
