DFCS_SCROLLDOWN	Down arrow of scroll bar
DFCS_SCROLLLEFT	Left arrow of scroll bar
DFCS_SCROLLRIGHT	Right arrow of scroll bar

Return Value

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero.

Remarks

If uType is either DFC_MENU or DFC_BUTTON and uState is not DFCS_BUTTONPUSH, the frame control is a black-on-white mask (that is, a black frame control on a white background). In such cases, the application must pass a handle to a bitmap memory device control. The application can then use the associated bitmap as the hbmMask parameter to the MaskBlt function, or it can use the device context as a parameter to the BitBlt function using ROPs such as SRCAND and SRCINVERT.
