Subject: WDEF not getting wInGoAway message though goAway box works

I'm writing a WDEF. When there is a click in its goAway box, my WDEF
sends back wInGoAway and the window closes accordingly. So I have some
decent reason to believe that the Window Manager sees my wInGoAway and
tells the application about it. However, my WDEF never receives a
corresponding draw message, i.e. one that says "Draw your goAway box
in whatever highlighted form to indicate its selection," specifically
param == wInGoAway. Why?

Here's the offending code, methinks:

*/

long doWHit ( WindowPeek theWindow, long param, int varCode ) {
 
	Point p; 
	long result = noHit;

	SetPt ( &p, LoWord ( param ), HiWord ( param ) ); 

	/* ... */
		{
			Rect	boxR = GetGoAwayRect ( theWindow );
			if ( PtInRect ( p, &boxR ) )
				result = wInGoAway;
		}
	/* ... */
	return ( result );
}
