Hi,

I want to modify some CButtons in the OnCreate() method of the
class (CMainFrame : public CFrameWnd)

int CMainFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
  m_btn1.SetButtonImg(IDC_BUTTON1, IDC_BUTTON1);
  m_btn1.SetButtonText("Test");
  m_btn1.SetFont("Arial",16);
  m_btn1.SubclassDlgItem(IDOK, this);

  return 0;
}

But these information are not taken place, because the DrawItem method
(class CButton) will never be called.

Which steps do I have to do - getting called the DrawItem function
(Cbutton-class)?

m_btn1 is created within a dialog-field in the resource editor .

best regards
Bernd

If the buttons are created within a dialog resource why are the CButton
member variables in CMainFrame? There are no buttons in a CMainFrame. The
CButton member variables must be in the class of their parent dialog.

None of this has anything to do with DrawItem. It is used only with buttons
that have the owner-draw style, which means buttons that you are going to
paint with your own custom code.
