C / C++ / MFC

As always. It depends. It depends on what the calculations are and how you write the code. There's no way for anyone to give you a direct answer for this. Asking questions is a skill CodeProject Forum Guidelines Google: C# How to debug code Seriously, go read these articles. Dave Kreskowiak

That does not make sense. The data pointed to by the MEASUREITEMSTRUCT is what you have set when you create the control. However, whether it is ANSI or Unicode does not matter, as the actual display dimensions will be the same.

How are your results different from what is expected? Also, showing the files exact contents would be helpful.

You are trying to use a C++ construct in a C-language program.

I`ll keep it in mind.

Thanks to parallel processing these days you can feed in your game loop a constant value as time variable. (there is no fluctuation between frames as far as time is concerned). You should care about Frame Rate Independent movement only if you`re developing a game meant to hit the store shelf.

Sorry, but without some actual problem details there is nothing much we can offer.

In that case, add command line switch support for installing your context menu items and removing them. Asking questions is a skill CodeProject Forum Guidelines Google: C# How to debug code Seriously, go read these articles. Dave Kreskowiak

My process is that I do Addstring with values I have Then when clicking right icon dropdown on the combo box The Drawitem exit is invoked, allowing me to format that string with font, the rcitem RECT member has Dimensions from the MeasureItem exit the problem is at the end of stepping thru DrawItem the listbox remains intact non displayable. Victor Suggested I use TRACE have to look into that Thanks

The edit control is designed to handle all key events in order to manage the input and display of the text. If you want to override its default behaviour then you need to subclass the control: Subclassing Controls - Win32 apps | Microsoft Docs[^].

No, you have to do the layout calculations yourself. And TBH if GUI applications are your main focus then I would suggest you stick to .NET with C# or VB.NET.

Now faced with the same problem. Tell me, how did you solve it (if you figured it out)?

Thank you Richard and Dave for reply and suggestion. Regards, Gopinath.

I downloaded it built it debug x64 and as I was stepping thru that code it got an exception it was somewhere in MFC code the call stack indicated it was from an Additem Ill go back and try to fix it up thank you

Noted, Thank you,

Perhaps your implementation/override of DrawItem is not complete? Have a look at some of the CP articles describing the ownerdraw comboboxe, like this one: [Group Combo Box](https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/489189/Group-Combo-Box#OwnerDrawnComboBoxes)
