    Looking for the Holy Grail...

    ...of owner-drawn styles that is.

    Here is my question. I have yet to locate all of these styles for all of the different controls. The thought came to me that perhaps there is an undocumented "universal" owner-drawn style, a secret integer that will cause any window to suddenly spurt forth WM_DRAWITEM messages...could it be so, or is my imagination getting the best of me?
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }

    Not AFAIK.

    Look in winuser.h for the defines.

    Yep, thanks. Thing is, both commctl.h and winuser.h together makes an incomplete list. Only 7 or so are listed...wierd. Thanks for the info, tho, mate.
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }
