Re: PreCreateWindow() & CListBox

In my CListBox-deriviation, i want to have some StyleFlags always set
before the Control is created. So I thought to overload
PreSubclassWindow() and PreCreateWindow(). The first one is called but
cant set LBS_OWNERDRAWVARIABLE, the PreCreateWindow() is not called at
all;-\

Can anyone explain why it is not called and what to do about it? I
definitively need a way to change the styleflags *after* the resources
are loaded and *before* the windows get created - wasn't
PreCreateWindow() meant exactly for that...?

- thanx for any insight -.rhavin;)

//-------------------------------------------------------------------
//
void CQListBox::PreSubclassWindow() {
CListBox::PreSubclassWindow();
ModifyStyle(LBS_HASSTRINGS | LBS_OWNERDRAWVARIABLE, LBS_USETABSTOPS |
LBS_NODATA | LBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED, true);
UpdateWindow();
}

//-------------------------------------------------------------------
//
BOOL CQListBox::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs) {
cs.style &= ~(LBS_HASSTRINGS | LBS_OWNERDRAWVARIABLE);
cs.style |= LBS_USETABSTOPS | LBS_NODATA | LBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED;
return CListBox::PreCreateWindow(cs);
}
