CCheckListBox is not a "default" control. It is an owner-drawn control
in
which MFC code does the drawing. Since you have the source code for the
control drawing available I suggest you review it. Especially to find
out
if it is calling CCheckListBox::PreDrawItemThemed. As you will see in
the
code, you may have a versioning problem.

I am not having the source code for drawing controls.I dont have any
Custom controls.
I do not have the access to CCheckListBox::PreDrawItemThemed.All I
have is CListBox created through resource editor and a CCheckListBox
variable associated with it.No overridden Draw method.Is there
anything That I can do in this condition.I cannot create
subclass.thats limitation of my program.
sorry for such long mail chain.but its urgency.

What Scott is saying is that CCheckListBox *is* a custom control, so yes,
you are using a custom control regardless of whether you know it or not.
Look in e.g. c:\program files\VS8\atlmfc\src\mfc\winctrl3.cpp (substitute
path where you installed VC2005) -- you will see the source code for
CCheckListBox, specifically the source for CCheckListBox::DrawItem().

Either fix this or find another check list control.
