I think I figured out what is going on. In my listdrawfunc, I get a
datarecord, lock the handle, unpack it to a struct with pointers to the
various strings. Then as I draw, I do fntcharsinwidth, then
windrawchars in various ways to make it look good. Then I unlock the
handle,release the record.
If I use other strings, the list hilights properly. Is the
fntcharsinwidth, which truncates the string, the string which is in a
locked handle, messing something up?
I will try a strcopy on the strings I need, do the truncating with that
copy. A question though, do I need to release the memory of the strcopy
result? How?
