Run your programs from a command prompt window and you will probably
see the problem.
Here is an example from a test program I am working on:
C:\work.ooRexx\other\feature.requests\custom.draw.listview\listView>cdMulti.rex
*-* Compiled method CUSTOMDRAWCONTROL with scope "CustomDraw"
92 *-* self~customDrawControl(IDC_LV_C, 'TreeView', onCustomDrawC)
50 *-* dlg~showListView(C)
Error 98 running
C:\work.ooRexx\other\feature.requests\custom.draw.listview\listView\cdMulti.rex
line 92: Execution error
Error 98.900: The control marked for custom draw with id 1005 is not
a TreeView control
C:\work.ooRexx\other\feature.requests\custom.draw.listview\listView>
If I look up the numeric ID for the symbolic ID, IDC_LV_C I see that
it is 1005. I also see that it is the ID for a list-view, not a
tree-view. Line 92 displayed in the condition messages shows me I
passed in 'TreeView' where I meant 'ListView'.
So, the error tells me exactly what is wrong.
If you are running your dialog programs using rexxhide, you will not
see the error output.

Most likely a condition is being raised, and you will see the
condition text if you run the program from the command prompt. If
your program has an extension that causes it to be executed with
rexxhide, then just explicitly start it with rexx:
C:\work.ooRexx\other\feature.requests\custom.draw.listview\listView>rexx
cdMulti.rex
*-* Compiled method CUSTOMDRAWCONTROL with scope "CustomDraw"
92 *-* self~customDrawControl(IDC_LV_C, 'TreeView', onCustomDrawC)
50 *-* dlg~showListView(C)

I have seen quite a few programs where people have not counted the
commas correctly for these 2 methods, and I'll bet you lunch, that's
your problem here. ;-)

It should be accepted.

If you posted your code here, I could probably tell you what is wrong.

The absolute best way is to run your programs from the command line
while you are developing them. If you are already doing that, and you
don't see any output, then you can post your code here and I'll help
figure out what the problem.
