3 State Buttons Without Subcalssing

[TheCodeCracker]

Guys i started this thread to view the variety of coding styles used by different coders...

I know how to create a 3 state button via subclassing the button window but i started this tread so that every coder can contribute their code snippets on how to skin buttons.

e.g i make a 2 state button by setting the buttons property to be BS_OWNERDRAW and also creating the respective brushes

and then processing it in WM_DRAWITEM message.

Main proc hwnd:DWORD, umsg:DWORD, wparam:DWORD, lparam:DWORD	.if umsg==WM_INITDIALOG
				invoke LoadBitmap,hinst,ID_BMPBTNNORMAL
		mov btnnormalbmp,eax
		invoke CreatePatternBrush,btnnormalbmp
		mov btnnormalbrush,eax		invoke LoadBitmap,hinst,ID_BMPBTNPRESS
		mov btnpressbmp,eax
		invoke CreatePatternBrush,btnpressbmp
		mov btnpressbrush,eax
				invoke GetDlgItem,hwnd,IDC_CLOSEBTN
		mov btn,eax
		invoke GetWindowLong,btn,GWL_STYLE
		or eax, BS_OWNERDRAW
		invoke SetWindowLong,btn,GWL_STYLE,eax.elseif umsg==WM_DRAWITEM				 xor ecx,ecx
		mov ecx,lParam		assume ecx: ptr DRAWITEMSTRUCT		.if [ecx].CtlID == IDC_CLOSEBTN
			.if [ecx].itemState & ODS_SELECTED
				invoke FillRect,[ecx].hdc,addr [ecx].rcItem,btnpressbrush
			.else
				invoke FillRect,[ecx].hdc,addr [ecx].rcItem,btnnormalbrush
			.endif
		.elseif [ecx].CtlID==IDC_NAME || [ecx].CtlID==IDC_SERIAL
			invoke GetDlgItemText,hwnd,[ecx].CtlID,addr tempbuffer,sizeof tempbuffer
			.if eax>1
				invoke DrawText,[ecx].hdc,offset tempbuffer,sizeof tempbuffer,addr [ecx].rcItem,DT_EDITCONTROL
			.endif
		.endif
		assume ecx:nothing	.endif
		xor eax,eax
		Ret
Main ENDP

I hope this thread will be helpful to the guys need to learn Button Skinning as well as some concepts about brushes and skinning another controls the same way as well.
