I missed the original question but I think I can answer you.
Yes, the highlighting is done in the Draw routine.  This is the correct place.
You sholdn't be doing anything with an indicator or in the Drag unless you
actually have an indicator.

If the param to Draw is 0, you draw the whole button normally.  If the param to
Draw is inButton (I think, I don't have references with me), you invert the
button.  If one of the options is no highlighting, you just check the variation
code and if it's one for no highlighting, don't invert it.  Actually, these
days with color, instead of xoring stuff to invert, you have to switch the
foreground and background colors and redraw the thing you're inverting.

I hope I'm making sense.  I don't really know what special thing you're trying
to do.  You can mail me if you have more questions.
