the following func was meant to recreate a window with given styles.
unfortunaltely, it asserts in WinCtrl1.cpp if a listbox is recreated
with the ownerdrawn-style set because MeasureItem() is not overloaded.
how do i stop this assert?

bool RecreateWindow(CWnd* pWnd, DWORD dwStyle, DWORD dwStyleEx) {
  if (pWnd == NULL) return false;
  if (pWnd->GetSafeHwnd() == 0) return false;

  HWND hParent = 0;
  UINT nID = pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID();
  CFont* pFont = pWnd->GetFont();
  CWnd* pWndAfter = pWnd->GetNextWindow(GW_HWNDPREV);
  LPVOID lParam = (LPVOID) GetWindowLong(pWnd->GetSafeHwnd(),
GWL_USERDATA);
  LONG lWndProc = GetWindowLong(pWnd->GetSafeHwnd(), GWL_WNDPROC);

  if (pWndAfter == NULL ) pWndAfter = (CWnd*) &CWnd::wndBottom;
  if (pWnd->GetParent()) hParent = pWnd->GetParent()->GetSafeHwnd();

  CRect rc;
  pWnd->GetWindowRect(&rc);
  pWnd->ScreenToClient(&rc);

  CString scCaption;
  pWnd->GetWindowText(scCaption);

  char szClass[32];
  GetClassName(pWnd->GetSafeHwnd(), szClass, 32);

  HWND hwnd = CreateWindowEx(dwStyleEx, szClass, scCaption, dwStyle,
rc.left, rc.top, rc.Width(), rc.Height(), hParent, (HMENU) nID,
AfxGetInstanceHandle(), lParam);
    SetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_WNDPROC, lWndProc);

// .... //
  return true;
}
