SetWindowLong in CustomDraw causes unhandled exception

Hello, I am making some changes to a CSliderCtrl using the Custom Draw, the control is to be used in a dialog. Here is the structure: In my MessageMap I have : ON_NOTIFY_REFLECT_EX(NM_CUSTOMDRAW, OnNMCustomdraw)

The OnNMCustomdraw method looks like the following:

BOOL CCustomSliderCtrl::OnNMCustomdraw(NMHDR *pNMHDR, LRESULT *pResult)
{
    *pResult = CDRF_DODEFAULT;
    LPNMCUSTOMDRAW pNMCD = reinterpret_cast<LPNMCUSTOMDRAW>(pNMHDR);

    switch(pNMCD->dwDrawStage)
    {
        case CDDS_PREPAINT:
        {
            //Dialogs don't receive CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW notifcations by returning it as part of pResult, we must
            //use the following so we ensure we receive the msg
            SetWindowLong(pNMHDR->hwndFrom, DWL_MSGRESULT, CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW);
            return TRUE;
        }
        case CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT:
            if(pNMCD->dwItemSpec == TBCD_CHANNEL)
            {
                ...SNIP...
                SetWindowLong(pNMHDR->hwndFrom, DWL_MSGRESULT, CDRF_SKIPDEFAULT);
                return TRUE;
            }
    }
    return FALSE;
}

Reading around I learnt that you had to use SetWindowLong to set the return value for the custom draw, otherwise your method will not always receive the CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT message. However, when using SetWindowLong my application will never receive the CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT and so my slider just looks like a standard slider. The application crashes when any sort of interaction takes place upon the slider, such as hovering over it or minimizing and maximizing the dialog.

I snipped the TBCD_CHANNEL code as it is never reached.

When running in debug mode, it crashes at the end of the AfxUnlockGlobals method, in afxcrit.cpp. Here is a stack trace: Update: Since adding debug symbols, the crash seems to be picked up at CWnd::DefWindowProc mwthod.

So, does anyone have any insight into this matter? If you need more info just let me know.

Update: I have found a work around for now, instead of using SetWindowLong I just assign the result to pResult, then return. I force a re-draw that does repaint the sub items by calling SetRangeMin(GetRangeMin(), TRUE);, not exactly elegant but it works.
