I haven't an answer since I've yet to work own owner draw stuff yet. However,
the IBM Programmer's Toolkt has a great example of an ownerdraw listbox in
the sample program that shows Extended Attributes. The filepath is:
   x:\toolkt12\c\samples\bse\ealist\ealist.c	

If you hack thru it long enough you should be able to figure out what you need.
