I know the feeling.  (not surprising given the size of the delta; you ought
to see what my last big one would have screwed up).

ANSI

Do you have access to the Microsoft "rowlist" sample?  If so then use that
but edit a couple of the labels to be longer than one line.  It's the "being
longer than one line" that messes it up.

It did work on 1/jan so it was probably your delta.

Thanks for the rapid response

p.s. what is going on in DrawLargeItem with the ellipsification; it looks
like it ellipsifies it and then throws the result away.

I am currently working on DrawText which should provide everything needed to
draw the text properly.  I am feeding it to Alexandre in small pieces so
that we don't break anything.  Microsoft, as far as I can see, don't
actually use DrawText; they appear to reimplement all the ellipsification
but I don't see why.
