DrawMode.OwnerDrawFixed

[gadya]

I am entering entries into a listbox using 'DrawMode.OwnerDrawFixed'.
I notice that I continually get Draw events with e.index=-1.
Why is this? How should these events be processed?
I note that some posts test the index value and if negative just exit.
Doesn't something more need to be done?

You need to ignore it otherwise you'll be throwing exceptions all over the
place due to trying to access non existent indices.
