Let the gods be favorable and someone answer my plea...


I have a LS_OWNERDRAW styled list box and have yet to figure out the
method of drawing text in response to the WM_DRAWITEM message for this
listbox.  The books don't help at all.  The only clue is that the hItem
part of the OWNERITEM structure "specifies an application-defined item
handle" (pg 512 of Volume 2, Micorsoft OS/2 Programmer's Ref.)  I've tried
to pass a pointer to a string, pointer to a structure that contains a string
 but to no avail.  Has anyone had success in this quandry?  I just want to
know what to pass as the mp2 of the LM_INSERTITEM message.

Thanks in advance.
