Neil, can you point me in the right direction how to support your comment about using making 3 calls to WinDrawChars. How would I support this? Currently I am filling a choicelist with strings during the InitForm function of mine, one for each line displayed in the list.
I am guessing that I need to tell the List to use a custom draw call, and thats when I can make the WinDrawChars calls, but I have no idea how to do this. Or even if this is correct. Any help is greatly appreciated :-) Darren.
