Takehiko Abe,

Following is some information that I posted on 5/20, when someone asked a
similar question. -- I believe (from memory) that DrawThemeWindowHeader
is intended to draw a "status bar" area that might contain "5 of 10 items
selected" and so on.

-----
Below is some code I use in an LTableView-derived class, to draw the Aqua
column header. (This is adapted from someone else's Carbon-Dev post over
a year ago...sorry, I don't remember who the original poster was.)

// Aqua list header
ThemeButtonDrawInfo drawInfo;
drawInfo.state = this->IsActive() ? kThemeStateActive :
kThemeStateInactive;
drawInfo.value = 0;
drawInfo.adornment = kThemeAdornmentNone;

if ( this->fSortedColumn == inCell.col )
{
drawInfo.value = 1;

if ( this->fSortIsAscending )
drawInfo.adornment |= kThemeAdornmentHeaderButtonSortUp;
}

OSErr err = ::DrawThemeButton( &frameRect, kThemeListHeaderButton,
&drawInfo, NULL, NULL, NULL, 0 );

// Then using DrawThemeTextBox or some other appearance savvy text
drawing
// function, you can draw the text on top of the list header.
//
// Also to draw the list header as selected, ie. the user has just
clicked
// on it and you want to track the click use this:

// drawInfo.state = kThemeStatePressed;

Cheers,

--Dave
