Driving Ctatic::DrawItem

ForNow

I have an owerdraw ComboBox When a user selects an Item I want to Display the Detail info I figure I could use the same Dialog for Background So for the 6 CStatic and Their 6 Labels I do ShowWindow(SW_HIDE) I saw the following post on how to drive DrawItem by Calling invalidate an the SetWindowText Getting owner draw child control to paint when calling SetWindowText - vc.mfc[^] So I create my own derived CStatic

class MyStatic : public CStatic
{ DECLARE_DYNAMIC(MyStatic)
public:
MyStatic();
~MyStatic();

void SetWindowText(LPSTR);
void DrawItem(LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT pdis);

};

This my SSetWindowText

void MyStatic::SetWindowText(LPSTR lpsz)
{
Invalidate();
CStatic::SetWindowText(lpsz);

}

two bad things on the way to getting where I want 1) I get an exception in wincore.cpp at the retrun ::CallWindowProc

RESULT CWnd::DefWindowProc(UINT nMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
if (m_pfnSuper != NULL)
return ::CallWindowProc(m_pfnSuper, m_hWnd, nMsg, wParam, lParam);

WNDPROC pfnWndProc;
if ((pfnWndProc = \*GetSuperWndProcAddr()) == NULL)
	return ::DefWindowProc(m\_hWnd, nMsg, wParam, lParam);
else

After the exception my Drawitem is called however ItemData doesn't have the String pointer and and is NULL Thanks

ForNow

Didn't have a message map entry from my Derived CStatic also the text of the Static control isn't set in the itemData you have to a GetWindowText to get it with those two fixes everything worked
