1. API Question
Hi all,
I have been having a problem with status bars.
I have created a Status bar and i have made it owner drawn. by sending
the SB_SETTEXTA.
When it comes to the WM_DRAWITEM message i peek all the information i
need then i use bitblt to draw a bitmap on the 5th part of the status
bar. It works fine cause i have followed all the procedures as stated in
the win95hlp file. The thing is that every time the WM_SIZE message is
processed the picture disappears and appears as a small dot at the
position specified by the rcItem of the DRAWITEMSTRUCTURE.
If all the above is gibberish then i would appreciated some one sending
me code for doing this. BTW, my start of API programming has helped me
make a few cool additions to my version of win32lib. i have managed
creating menus with bitmaps and having radio buttons. The only move is
to convince Derek to add these to win32lib. I'm also working on an MDI
library.
Thanx in advance

Hard to say without seeing the code...
Post it and I will have a look at it
