Yes, they do, although the text in the reference could be clearer.  If the
ODA_SELECT bit in lpdis->itemAction is set then draw the button as "pushed
in" if the ODS_SELECTED bit is set in lpdis->itemState, otherwise draw it
as "normal".

The best thing to do is output in TRANSPARENT mode so that you don't have
to know what the button face color is.  Use SetBkMode() to set this.  You
could also use SetBkColor() to setup the text background yourself.

Well, the ODS_DISABLED bit in lpdis->itemState will be set if the button
should be drawn as disabled.  You could always use the IsWindowEnabled()
function also.
