Re: SS_RIGHT and SS_OWNERDRAW

I was hoping that was the case, but I don't think that's possible.
Below is code that reproduces the problem. When run, the code draws a
red rectangle, a green rectangle, and that's it. The third one doesn't
draw in blue or black -- it just doesn't draw at all. But the Create()
call does not fail. If I set a breakpoint inside the "case" statement
for SS_RIGHT, it never breaks. The "case" statements for both SS_LEFT
and SS_CENTER are both hit repeatedly.
