- The object of this program is to demonstrate how to use the LS_OWNERDRAW
- listbox feature and to utilize that feature to highlite a keyword in any
- listbox item which is needed.
-
- I have found there are a lot of functions that do not have good
- documentation in both the IBM and Microsoft toolkits that it sometimes
- becomes frustrating trying to figure out how to use them.
-
- When I looked in my Microsoft OS/2 Programmer's Reference Manual trying
- to figure out how to accomplish an OWNERDRAW listbox, it was about as
- clear as mud (refer to page 186 - 187, Volume 1).
-
- After receiving some help from Guy Scharf (CIS ID: 76702,557) I was able
- to complete this function. After getting his information, the
- information in the manual actually did make a lot more sense.
-
- If you are in need of creating your own style listboxes this will at
- least put you in the right direction.
-
- If you want to contact me, feel free to call my BBS or send me mail on
- CIS (I usually check my BBS a *lot* more frequently than I do CIS).
