    <p>The only way I know of to really tackle this is to use 'custom draw', rather than 'owner draw'. Custom draw came in with Windows 2000, but is only used by button controls with comctrl32 6.0 (so Windows XP onwards), isn't very clearly documented, and isn't something MFC goes out of its way to support.</p> <p>Anyway, the good thing about custom draw is that it lets you hook in at various points in the drawing process, unlike owner draw, which makes you deal with the whole thing. Have a look in MSDN at the NM_CUSTOMDRAW notification message.</p> <p>For the other part of your problem, detecting the 'hot' state, the easiest way to do this is to use WM_MOUSEMOVE messages and the TrackMouseEvent() function to track whether the mouse is over your button.</p> <p>Unfortunately this is a bit of a vague answer: the amount of code you need to demonstrate a button that uses custom draw is a bit too much to type into these answer boxes! I do have a project that demonstrates such techniques, using a custom draw button (falling back to owner draw on older Windows versions) that adds a little arrow to the button. You can have a look at the source code by getting</p> <p><a href="http://www.inform7.com/sources/apps/Windows_UI_source.zip" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Windows_UI_source.zip</a></p> <p>Open it and have a look at the "DropArrowButton" class. The important bit is the OnCustomDraw() handler and its helper function DrawControl(): these get called at the various button drawing phases, and use UxTheme to draw the control appropriately.</p>

    1. COI had a look at your code but I don't see how that solves my problem. You end up calling DrawThemeBackground with PBS_HOT state and that draws the normal (unpressed) button with the golden border (hot state). I need a way to draw the pressed (PBS_PRESSED) state with the golden border (hot state). Thank you very much anyway.

    2. COMy mistake: I misunderstood your question. I don't think there's any way to quite make DrawThemeBackground() do what you want: all I can suggest would be to draw the background pressed, and alpha-blend in the "hot" state rectangle yourself. If you did the "hot" rectangle like that always, you should probably able to get a passable effect.

    3. COThis is something similar to what I did. In fact the effect is quite good without using AlphaBlend (I'll give it a try if someone complains!). Unfortunatelly I had already accepted my answer when I saw your comment and I cannot unmake my acceptation. I would have accepted your answer otherwise. Thank you.

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.
