This event is described in ecdClientDrawOnly next. It raises a DrawItem event to the owner form, which should draw the item itself. As Long This is the handle to the font in the control before ODCboLst. This sample uses GDI methods to the drawing, however you could equally use VB drawing methods to draw into a picture box with AutoRedraw set to true and then use one call to BitBlt to transfer the item to the DrawItem DC if you are more comfortable with VB's drawing methods. This style causes ODCboLst to draw a colour picker box.
All drawing is done internally in the control using the default drawing method.
This mode performs the same as ecdNoClient except that once it has finished the default paint it additionally paints a box on the right hand side showing the text centring and font sizes. This method allows you to add an item but also set the extended properties of each list item at the same time. If you have a lot of items to add, and you are setting one or more extended properties, it will be considerably quicker to use this method than the AddItem method followed by the individual extended properties. This method is the same as AddItem except it inserts after the index lIndex. This method is the same as AddItemAndData except it inserts after the index lIndex.
