How can I make a completely custom control? I'm using api.
I know how to do owner draw stuff but that is becoming a hassel because I have to switch between different values stored in the control to decide how it will be drawn.

A control is simply a window - so you could use CreateWindow(). Of course, you needn't even do that, if you are handling the drawing of you main window, you could just plop a bitmap where you want your control to be.
Many ways forward really.
Hrmm ... Alright. I think I know what to do, but it won't be easy.
I'll have a try, most likely I'll be back. :)
Well I have it working, although it doesn't look pretty yet it's still there. :D
Thanks a bunch. :)
