[SOLVED]synedit SynCompletion onpaintitem question

[snorkel]

Hi,
I am using the Syncompletion component and I want to paint the item text with an icon and sometimes it works and then sometimes the component writes the text over my custom painted text.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.      //paint the icon
2.      main_datamod.main_tool_bar_images.Draw(aCanvas, x+2, y,iconindex) ;
3.      //write the text past the icon, stype is a string that contains the type of sql i.e. TABLE,VIEW etc.
4.      acanvas.TextOut(x+20,y, stype);
5.      acanvas.Font.Style:=[fsBold];
6.      acanvas.TextOut(x+200,y,Akey);
7.  

it's like it should have an ownerdraw property or something, probably I am doing it completely wrong LOL.
See the attached image for what it looks like, when execute the completion.

if I change the brush  style to bsclear it looks a bit different, see attached image.

Nevermind, solved my own issue.

I didn't know that the onpaintevent is actually a function and to fully override the default onpaint, you need to set the result of the event to True.
