I use this approach a lot for non-popup lists:
Set up a List callback routine by calling LstSetDrawFunction. It
gets called once for each visible list in the line passing a list
item #. In the callback, do something like DmQueryRecord ( dbRef,
list item# ), and draw what you want to draw. One of the other
parameters passed in to the drawing callback is the coordinates of
the current row's rectangle. You can use WinDrawChars and those
coordinates to draw the stuff in the right place.
If you're interested in pop-up lists, I'm sure someone else can give
you a good concise answer.
