  The MEASUREITEMSTRUCT data structure informs Windows of the dimensions
  of an owner-draw control. This allows Windows to process user
  interaction with the control correctly. The owner of an owner-draw
  control receives a pointer to this structure as the <lParam> parameter
  of an WM_MEASUREITEM message. The owner-draw control sends this message
  to its owner window when the control is created; the owner then fills in
  the appropriate members in the structure for the control and returns.
  This structure is common to all owner-draw controls.
 
  Member       Description
 
  CtlType      Is the control type. The values for control types are as
               follows:
 
               Value          Meaning
 
               ODT_BUTTON     Owner-draw button.
 
               ODT_COMBOBOX   Owner-draw combo box.
 
               ODT_LISTBOX    Owner-draw list box.
 
               ODT_MENU       Owner-draw menu.
 
  CtlID        Is the control ID for a combo box, list box, or button.
               This member is not used for a menu.
 
  itemID       Is the menu-item ID for a menu or the list-box item ID for
               a variable-height combo box or list box. This member is not
               used for a fixed-height combo box or list box, or for a
               button.
 
  itemWidth    Specifies the width of a menu item. The owner of the
               owner-draw menu item must fill this member before returning
               from the message.
 
  itemHeight   Specifies the height of an individual item in a list box or
               a menu. Before returning from the message, the owner of the
               owner-draw combo box, list box, or menu item must fill out
               this member. The maximum height of a list box item is 255.
 
  itemData     Contains the value that was passed to the combo box by
               ◄CComboBox::AddString► or ◄CComboBox::InsertString►, or
               passed to the list box by ◄CListBox::AddString► or
               ◄CListBox::InsertString►.
 
  Comments
 
  Failure to fill out the proper members in the MEASUREITEMSTRUCT
  structure will cause improper operation of the control.
