I think it could be done currently only if the userdef code is allowed
to call the AES and/or anything else it could need. So maybe, as Jo
Even suggests, correcting/improving the userdef implementation is the
safest way.

That won't work. I would need to know when the work area within the
toolbar needs to be redrawn. First, I can know this only in some
cases, and in those cases I can do the redrawing without waiting for
an AES message; and second, sending myself a WM_REDRAW message won't
work because the AES will never send it back to me, since it's
responsible for redrawing the toolbar.

I should be able to provide a sample app in the coming days.
