    <p>I have been trying for a very long time (well a few days) to create a toggle button. A button having a up or down state.</p> <p>Took over a day to realize it is not possible to create an owner drawn toggle button, a checkbox and pushlike does not work. When using owner drawn there is no difference between a checkbox or regular button (MSDN also notes you cant use owner drawn with any of those styles.)</p> <p>From reading I found out you have to do it yourself, normally not a problem at all, but I cannot get any real "responsiveness." That is, if I click fast, nothing happens, sometimes I will click and it changes states, other times not and only updates when I click a different button.</p> <p>I created a global variable for if the button should be shown in up or down state. In the commands I have it set that when the button, IDC_BTN_TOGGLE, it will set the opposite value on the bool.</p> <p>Then the draw item part:</p> <pre><code>// button down if ((pDIS-&gt;itemState &amp; ODS_SELECTED) || showButtonDown) { oldBrush = (HBRUSH)SelectObject(pDIS-&gt;hDC, theme.hBrush[BRUSH_BUTTON2]); } // button up else { oldBrush = (HBRUSH)SelectObject(pDIS-&gt;hDC, theme.hBrush[BRUSH_BUTTON]); } </code></pre> <p>All my buttons are owner drawn and run through this. showButtonDown is only true when it is drawing IDC_BTN_TOGGLE and the top bool is true as well.</p> <p>The normal buttons function normally, when I click them, it instantly shows the down state, release, back to normal, the toggle button is barely responsive.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/bpsAR.png" alt="enter image description here"> </p>

    2. CONope, it for sure doesn't work when I used owner drawn. When testing, ODS_CHECKED and ODS_SELECTED both trigger, even with a normal push button.

    3. COSince you're doing the drawing it's fundamentally you who have control over what the button looks like, so the question is what state/inputs do you need to respond to. I'd start by printing out the state values you are seeing in your `WM_DRAWITEM` handler and see if you can establish a pattern.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
