MEASUREITEMSTRUCT Structure

The MEASUREITEMSTRUCT structure informs Windows of the dimensions of an owner-drawn control or menu item.

typedef struct tagMEASUREITEMSTRUCT {
   UINT CtlType;
   UINT CtlID;
   UINT itemID;
   UINT itemWidth;
   UINT itemHeight;
   DWORD itemData
} MEASUREITEMSTRUCT;

Parameters

  • CtlType
    Contains the control type. The values for control types are as follows:

    • ODT_COMBOBOX   Owner-draw combo box

    • ODT_LISTBOX   Owner-draw list box

    • ODT_MENU   Owner-draw menu

  • CtlID
    Contains the control ID for a combo box, list box, or button. This member is not used for a menu.

  • itemID
    Contains the menu-item ID for a menu or the list-box-item ID for a variable-height combo box or list box. This member is not used for a fixed-height combo box or list box, or for a button.

  • itemWidth
    Specifies the width of a menu item. The owner of the owner-draw menu item must fill this member before it returns from the message.

  • itemHeight
    Specifies the height of an individual item in a list box or a menu. Before it returns from the message, the owner of the owner-draw combo box, list box, or menu item must fill out this member. The maximum height of a list box item is 255.

  • itemData
    For a combo box or list box, this member contains the value that was passed to the list box by one of the following:

    For a menu, this member contains the value that was passed to the menu by one of the following:

This allows Windows to process user interaction with the control correctly. Failure to fill out the proper members in the MEASUREITEMSTRUCT structure will cause improper operation of the control.
