Hi everybody, i have a problem creating a owner drawn ListBox.

I need a ListBox that accepts graphic icons (.ico) files between the text
(e.g. some text [myIcon.ico] more text and then another icon [myIcon.ico]
and some text )
So i I am assuming that this is only possible creating a owner drawn
ListBox.
I'm a beginner, so an simple example would be nice.

Thanks in advance,

Gladys

Toidy,

This example (I had already found this example) is still very
unclear/complicated to me.

My project has one listbox, three textboxes, a button and an imagelist with
one icon file.
The only thing i want to do (difficult enough for me) is add the text from
textbox1, textbox2 and textbox3 to the listbox, all text parts separted by
an icon from the imagelist.
I tried to adapt this example for my purpose, but it always failed.
I would appreciate a simpler example if possible.

This example seems to be VB.NET and not C#. (I had already found this
example also)

Thanks in advance,

Gladys

My first question is "Do you have enough experience with the Graphics object
to draw what you want on, say, a PictureBox?" Because I'd say that's a
prerequisite for using OwnerDraw.

Agreed. With the minor nit to pick, that using a PictureBox as the base
implementation just for an arbitrary custom control is usually not
advantageous. Most custom controls should just inherit Control.
