@jj2007, The NMCUSTOMDRAW structure is defined in commctrl.h header file. typedef struct tagNMCUSTOMDRAWINFO { NMHDR hdr; // HWND, id, etc. DWORD dwDrawStage; HDC hdc; RECT rc; // We don't need to call GetClientRect DWORD_PTR dwItemSpec; UINT uItemState; // btn mouse hover, click, normal state LPARA...

@Josep Roca,
After 3 years of this post, I finally found the answer to my question.NM_CUSTOMDRAW is the answer. It comes with WM_NOTIFY message. All we need to do is get the LPNMCUSTOMDRAW struct from Lparam and change the button back color. This is far easy from owner draw buttons.

Hi all, I am playing with some win32 api gui code. Now, i would like to create a mouse click & double click event for my gui library. I've read that one would need to deal with four type of mouse messages to implement this feature. For a single click - WM_LBUTTONDOWN WM_LBUTTONUP And for a doubl...

I quit freebasic coding for about two years. But when i came back, what i can see is such great posts and comments. I feel sad that it's too late to read this. Thanks for this post.

@jj2007, At last, I found the problem !! It was the second parameter of the InvalidateRect() function. In wm_mousemove and wm_mouseleave msgs, i call this IvalidateRect with second parameter as "NULL". After a long time virtual debugging, i found that it accepts the rect of the control. No...
