ODS_SELECTED

[john5632]

I am drawing (ownerdraw) a button. I used if ( (state & ODS_SELECTED) || (state & ODS_FOCUS )) { } to check selected state. Problem is this....If I call BN_CLICKED from parent window then control does not come into above condition but if I click button its working fine. Please suggest how to set state to ODS_SELECTED?

The BN_CLICKED message is send to the parent window of a button when it is clicked. It is send by the button control, not to it. If you want to simulate a button click, send the BM_CLICK[^] message to the button control.

It is fine but it does not solve my issue. I am calling as you said but still contols dont go into that condition. I also tried to set SetFocus() function but no luck!!!

I have just tested it with an owner draw button in one of my applications. When BM_CLICK is send and the button did not had the focus, the DrawItem() member function is called with the ODS_FOCUS state bit set. The same applies when calling the SetFocus() member function of the button. So it seems that there is another error in your code. You may set a break point in your DrawItem() function and/or write the state to the debug window using trace() to check when and with which states your drawing function is called.
