    Owner Drawn (a few questions)

    I've looked over the code available on the forums and the example over at msdn (they're all pretty much the same), though nothing I found actually covered multiple owner drawn cntls. The code snipet below works, though my question are;

    - is it correct?
    - can I use the same image (depressed state) for several controls, or should each individual control have its own set of bmps (nothing shared).

    Code:
    case WM_DRAWITEM:
    {
     DRAWITEMSTRUCT* lpDrawItem=(DRAWITEMSTRUCT*)lParam;
     HBITMAP hBmp;
    
    if (lpDrawItem->itemState&ODS_SELECTED)
      {
    
        if (LOWORD(wParam)==IDC_BUTTONA){
           hBmp=reinterpret_cast<HBITMAP>(LoadImage(GetModuleHandle(0),
            MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_NUMONE),
            IMAGE_BITMAP,0,0,
            LR_CREATEDIBSECTION));
            }
            
             if (LOWORD(wParam)==IDC_BUTTONB){
               hBmp=reinterpret_cast<HBITMAP>(LoadImage(GetModuleHandle(0),
                MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_NUMONE),
                IMAGE_BITMAP,0,0,
                LR_CREATEDIBSECTION));
                }   
             }
             
    else
      {
         if (LOWORD(wParam)==IDC_BUTTONA){
           hBmp=reinterpret_cast<HBITMAP>(LoadImage(GetModuleHandle(0),
            MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_NUMONEB),
            IMAGE_BITMAP,0,0,
            LR_CREATEDIBSECTION));
            }
            
             if (LOWORD(wParam)==IDC_BUTTONB){
               hBmp=reinterpret_cast<HBITMAP>(LoadImage(GetModuleHandle(0),
                MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_NUMTWOB),
                IMAGE_BITMAP,0,0,
                LR_CREATEDIBSECTION));
                }
            }

    Use the same image if you intend them to look the same, but load it once and use that one handle wherever it's needed and then dispose of it when done.

    Gotcha. The depressed_states are the same, I assumed it redundant to use multiple images, but I wanted to be certain. More times than not, I'm wrong rather than right -

    Thanks.
