c++ winapi listview NM_CUSTOMDRAW: not getting CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT - c++

Question

I'm trying to change the row text-color of a list-view I made from a resource. For that, I handle NM_CUSTOMDRAW inside my dialog process. It's a modal dialog box, if that matters. According to the documentation,
dwDrawStage should equal CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT after returning CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW. But this is not the case. I'm receiving CDDS_PREPAINT for every item.
What did I do wrong?
This is how I respond to the message:
case WM_NOTIFY:
if (((LPNMHDR)lParam)->hwndFrom == GetDlgItem(hwnd, IDC_List2) && ((LPNMHDR)lParam)->code == NM_CUSTOMDRAW)
{
int result = CDRF_DODEFAULT;
LPNMLVCUSTOMDRAW lplvcd = (LPNMLVCUSTOMDRAW)lParam;
switch (lplvcd->nmcd.dwDrawStage)
{
case CDDS_PREPAINT:
result = CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW;
break;
case CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT: //never gets executed
lplvcd->clrText = RGB(255, 0, 0);
result = CDRF_NEWFONT;
break;
}
//SetWindowLongPtr(hEdit, DWLP_MSGRESULT, result);
//return TRUE;
return result;
}
break;
these are the properties of the ListView:
IDC_List2,"SysListView32",LVS_REPORT | LVS_SINGLESEL | LVS_NOLABELWRAP | LVS_ALIGNLEFT | LVS_NOSORTHEADER | WS_BORDER | WS_TABSTOP,205,18,363,197,WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE

Answer 1

I figured out the problem:
WM_NOTIFY is handled inside a dialog so of course I have to return the values accordingly. The issue was, that I used the wrong variable for the window (hEdit in this case).
This is the corrected version if anyone cares:
case WM_NOTIFY:
if (((LPNMHDR)lParam)->hwndFrom == GetDlgItem(hwnd, IDC_List2) && ((LPNMHDR)lParam)->code == NM_CUSTOMDRAW)
{
int result = CDRF_DODEFAULT;
LPNMLVCUSTOMDRAW lplvcd = (LPNMLVCUSTOMDRAW)lParam;
switch (lplvcd->nmcd.dwDrawStage)
{
case CDDS_PREPAINT:
result = CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW;
break;
case CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT:
lplvcd->clrText = RGB(255, 0, 0);
result = CDRF_NEWFONT;
break;
}
SetWindowLongPtr(hDialog, DWLP_MSGRESULT, result);
return TRUE;
}
break;
