NM_CUSTOMDRAW (button) notification code
Applies to: desktop apps only
Notifies the parent window of a button control about custom draw operations on the button.
The button control sends this notification code in the form of a WM_NOTIFY message.
NM_CUSTOMDRAW
lpNMCustomDraw = (LPNMCUSTOMDRAW) lParam;
Parameters
- lParam
-
A pointer to an NMCUSTOMDRAW structure that contains information about the drawing operation. The dwItemSpec member of this structure contains the index of the item being drawn and the lItemlParam member of this structure contains the item's lParam.
Return value
The value your application can return depends on the current drawing stage. The dwDrawStage member of the associated NMCUSTOMDRAW structure holds a value that specifies the drawing stage. You must return one of the following values.
| Return code | Description |

The application drew the item manually. The control will not draw the item. This can be used when dwDrawStage equals CDDS_PREERASE or CDDS_PREPAINT. |
Remarks
If the button control is marked ownerdraw (BS_OWNERDRAW), the NM_CUSTOMDRAW notification code is not sent.
