I realize that maybe creating a chessboard with 64 "buttons" are not the best way.
So my question is, is it better to draw the 64 cases and detect mouse clicks or is it better to create 64...

I'm writing a chessboard with GDI and when I click on a square the color changes to the opposite color but then it wont get redrawn again to normal.
I verified and I get only 5 WM_DRAWITEM message...

Thanks Igor! :-)

Thank you Paul,

So userdata means what is typed in the window for example or the coordinates of the window?

I have to call GetWindowLongPtr() with GWLP_USERDATA to redraw my tabcontrols.

They are ok, returning the indexes of the tabs.
Actually it not only breaks out of the switch() but it breaks out of the WM_DRAWITEM and never goes to the rest of the code, that is the problem.

Thanks for the help.
I tried to apply the code but I'm doing something wrong, the tabs won't even show up.

I want to paint with GDI+ on it.

"Won't work" means that it won't paint, won't draw a line.

I admit that I'm completely lost and I thought that you needed to declare this struct in order to paint on a tabcontrol.

"it" is...

Thanks for the guidance.
So as I understand I have to use WM_DRAWITEM and not WM_PAINT.
I set up a DRAWITEMSTRUCT structure and try to paint in WM_DRAWITEM but it still won't work.

Thank you Igor, that's what I wanted to know.

Thank you OReubens, fortunately there is no painting involved only updating of a listbox.

So can I assume that my method is the right one for what Im doing?

Hi,

I have a thread with a while(1) loop in it. When the user push the stop button I would like that thread to end.

Yes if I set them myself they are the same. :-)

That makes sense, thank you Victor!

I think it gets set automatically because I only send a DTM_SETFORMAT message when they are created. This is the format I use
LPSTR lpstrDate = "dd / MM / yyy dddd";

Today's date in this format: 08 / 11 / 2012 thursday

Hi Victor,

I should get the same result because they have the same dates in it.
But I get these two different values:

time 129968818494020000
time 129968818494290000

Thanks for your help!

I have I have two date and time picker boxes with the same dates in them and when I get the date from them they give different result.
