Could someone please explain more about owner drawn items. I have a dialog app that uses two edit boxes for the user to enter a starting/ending date. When the user presses the Create files button I am creating files from ODBC calls to an Oracle Database. I would like to add a owner drawn button with a butmap attached. My problem is that I see a lot of code on the subject, but am having a hard time implementing as I don't understand what needs to go where in my current source code! Some (for lack of a better word IDIOT) assistance would be Greatly Appreciated. I just want to add the button and hhave the bitmap drawn on it at that point I think I can get the rest! Thank you for your patience in advance! Charlie
