Raises the DrawItem event.
[Visual Basic] Overridable Protected Sub OnDrawItem( _ ByVal e As DrawItemEventArgs _ ) [C#] protected virtual void OnDrawItem( DrawItemEventArgs e ); [C++] protected: virtual void OnDrawItem( DrawItemEventArgs* e );
Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Raising an Event.
The OnDrawItem method also allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.
Notes to Inheritors: When overriding OnDrawItem in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnDrawItem method so that registered delegates receive the event.
