Paul,

	I guess I just don't know the 3.1 API as well as I thought
	I did - I was not aware of ExtractIcon (at least not in
	the API anyway).

	Why I have your expertise,

	How can I keep a Bitmap Selected into memory with an
	Owner-Draw ListBox?

	The ODA messages seem to work on a item by item basis
	with no sequence (asynchronous) with lp->hDC having
	no beginning.

	IOW, I want to select a bitmap into memory for the first
	item in a re-paint and then not select again for further
	items (this speeds things up considerable when doing
	one's own custom controls).

	However, as I said, the Owner-Draw does not seem to have
	a synchrous state where one can tell when the hDC is
	first being claimed for any given # of item re-paints.

	I thought of subclassing ListBox but I don't see how
	one could intercept WM_PAINT for the hDC I'm referring to

	Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

	Regards
