event OwnerDrawStart (Part as PartEnum, hDC as Long, ByRef DefaultPainting as Boolean)
Starts painting the owner draw part.

TypeDescription
Part as PartEnum A PartEnum expression that indicates the part being painted
hDC as Long A long expression that indicates the handle to the painting device context ( HDC )
DefaultPainting as Boolean (By Reference) A Boolen expression that indicates whether the default painting should be performed or not. If the DefaultPainting parameter is True, the control paints the part as default, else the part is not painted by the control so the user should draw the entire part.
The OwnerDrawStart event is fired when a part requires to be painted. The OwnerDrawStart event is fired only for owner draw parts. Use the OwnerDrawPart property to specify which part is owner draw and which part is not. You can use the OwnerDrawStart event to avoid painting any part using the DefaultPainting parameter. The control fires the  OwnerDrawEnd event when painting the part is done. Use the OwnerDrawStart event to perform painting part before default implementation is called. For instance, if the owner part pains a transparent or lucent skin, the OwnerDrawStart event lets you paint the part before putting the default skin. The rectangle that should be painted in the device context can be retrieved using the GetClipBox API function.  The VisiblePart or VisibleParts property specifies the part being visible or hidden.

For instance, the following VB sample draws the lower part in red, and the upper part in green ( as in the screen shot ) :

With Slider1
    .OwnerDrawPart(exLowerBackPart Or exUpperBackPart) = True
End With
