That declaration is not accurate.  Look at the actual declaration in 
commctrl.h instead:

typedef struct tagNMLVCUSTOMDRAW
{
    NMCUSTOMDRAW nmcd;
    COLORREF clrText;
    COLORREF clrTextBk;
#if (_WIN32_IE >= 0x0400)
    int iSubItem;
#endif
#if (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x501)
    DWORD dwItemType;

    // Item custom draw
    COLORREF clrFace;
    int iIconEffect;
    int iIconPhase;
    int iPartId;
    int iStateId;

    // Group Custom Draw
    RECT rcText;
    UINT uAlign;      // Alignment. Use LVGA_HEADER_CENTER, 
LVGA_HEADER_RIGHT, LVGA_HEADER_LEFT
#endif
} NMLVCUSTOMDRAW, *LPNMLVCUSTOMDRAW;

Notice in the declaration above that rcText is wrapped inside an #if 
statement.  _WIN32_WINNT is defined in winresrc.h as 0x500 by default, thus 
it does not satisfy the condition of the #if statement unless you re-define 
_WIN32_WINNT yourself in the Conditionals list of the Project Options 
dialog.

You must be using an old version of BCB then.  The declaration above was 
copied from commctrl.h in BCB 6.

That is because you did not include everything that is missing.  As you can 
see above, there are 5 other members between dwItemType and rcText that must 
be present in order to align rcText correctly in memory.

Upgrade to a newer BCB version, or at least download a newer Platform SDK 
from Microsoft so you have newer header files.

Aparently you are using BCB 5 wihch has old platform sdk. You can get 
more recent version by downloading and installing bccSDK which is

Could You tell me exactly how the line in the
Conditionals list should look like, I can't 
seem to get it right.

I've added a #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0502
to the h file but it gives me a warning.

Yes I can see that, but even with the new setup 
the rcText still just contains crap except for 
the rcText.width value it contains the ItemIndex, so 
I gues it's not all right yet..;-)

Yeaa I would like that but the economy is't to that 
at the moment

Thanks for Your help

_WIN32_WINNT=0x0501

Don't do it there.  It has to be in the Proect Options in order to be global 
throughout the project.

Chances are, the OS is not providing those values to begin with.  You did 
not say which OS version you are trying to run this on.
