How create custom button with Win32 API %26amp; C++ ( Not MFC ) ?
Create a button with style BS_OWNERDRAW. The BUTTON class then sends a WM_DRAWITEM to the parent window whenever it recieves a WM_PAINT message.





Simple Example:


case WM_DRAWITEM:


{


DRAWITEMSTRUCT* data=(DRAWITEMSTRUCT*)lParam;


if(data-%26gt;itemState %26amp; ODS_SELECTED)


DrawEdge(data-%26gt;hDC, %26amp;data-%26gt;rcItem, EDGE_SUNKEN, 0);


else


DrawEdge(data-%26gt;hDC, %26amp;data-%26gt;rcItem, EDGE_RAISED, 0);


return TRUE; //We handled this message


}


This draws a pressable blank button.








typedef struct tagDRAWITEMSTRUCT {


UINT CtlType;


UINT CtlID;


UINT itemID;


UINT itemAction;


UINT itemState;


HWND hwndItem;


HDC hDC;


RECT rcItem;


DWORD itemData;


} DRAWITEMSTRUCT;
