Hi Pete,

No you dont have to write a bunch of code for WinClass.  I stuck a
'quick' version of ComboBox.ew into my WinClass directory 'just' to
try this out with a different lib.  Since it behaved differently
(more as expected) all you should have to do is hunt down the
function calls in the lib(s) you are already using to see what
might be changing the returned values or whatever.

BTW the demo i used was simply adding these lines to my other demo:

include ComboBox.ew as CB

constant CB1=CB:Create(...params...)

then i added your code to a button event so that when you clicked
the button it drew the focus rect.  That part of the code was
almost exactly like yours except the way the functions are called...
DrawFocusRect(...) instead of c_func(xDrawFocusRect,{...}), etc., etc.
These functions do not modify the return values in any way either.

I hope to have the newer version of the library done soon along with
some more demos.  Until then if you would like a screen shot i can
take a snapshot and send it to you so you can examine how it gets
drawn using this other lib, but it's rather simple to visualize
by looking at the pic you sent me (the CB on the right side).
I didnt test Listbox because i thought you said that was working ok?


Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
