Re: SS_RIGHT and SS_OWNERDRAW

Hi,

I derived a control from CStatic. I override PreSubclassWindow() like
so,
to add the SS_OWNERDRAW style:

  void CMyStatic::PreSubclassWindow()
  {
     CStatic::PreSubclassWindow();

     ModifyStyle(0, SS_OWNERDRAW);
  }

The only other override is the CMyStatic::DrawItem() method, where I do
the
actual drawing. What I find is that if I do this:

  RECT some_rect_1, some_rect_2;
  CMyStatic x, y;

  // (Initialize the rects...)

  x.Create("Text", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | SS_CENTER, some_rect_1, this);
  y.Create("Text", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | SS_RIGHT , some_rect_2, this);

The result is that x is created and draws correctly, but not y.
Debugging,
I find that CMyStatic::DrawItem() is never called for y! However, the
y.Create() function does not return failure, and neither do any other
common window functions, like y.SetWindowText("new text"), etc... but
nothing is ever drawn.

If I remove the SS_OWNERDRAW style, the right-aligned text is drawn, but
the font is strange and the behavior is not what I want.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
