Re: Toolbar background error

[Guy L. Albertelli]

Bill,

Can you try the current CVS and let me know how that works. I have been
doing some work with Toolbar, Rebar, etc. and the background drawing was one
of the problems.

If it still has problems, let me know the application and I will work on it.

Thanks,

Guy

BTW since you are working on controls I thought I'd better let you know
this.

I intend at some point working on the ListView control's handling of the
text in the large icon view unless someone gets there first.  However it
will require corrections to DrawText/DrawTextEx's handling of the
EDIT_CONTROL style flag first (which affects the word wrapping/cutting of
long words in multiline stuff).  In addition from a quick experiment I
think that quite a lot of work will be required within listview.c because
it appears to be unstably dependent on the fact that the size of the text
portion is currently constant; the clipping and repainting falls to pieces
when the size of the text depends on whether the icon is selected or not
etc.

I thought I'd better let people know in case they get there before me.

In case you haven't found it yet it is in windows/defwnd.c; the change made
between 1.57 and 1.58.  Are you going to handle it?
