ListView and subitem image

[nixau]

Hello. It's possible to insert image only for subitem in ListView (no MFC)?

Let say we have three columns A | B | C and we want to insert image ONLY to item in column B.

I add LVS_EX_SUBITEMIMAGES to ListView style column and LVIF_IMAGE style for rows item and it's not work like i want to - now i have image in items in columns A and B. I also try to set lvItem.iImage to 0 and -1 for item in column A but isn't work (only work for column B, C ... but not for A).

confused:
At one time you say
want to insert image ONLY to item in column B
and then you say, only work for column B, C ... but not for A

Let me explain this. If we have column A | B | C default image is in item in column A (subitem=0). If we add another image to column B (subitem=1) we have now image in column A and B. So we can add image to all listview subitem.

The problem is how to remove image from first column A (subitem=0) leave other image in column B, C, etc. ?

Same problem here. Looks like the solution is customdraw or ownerdraw, or set another icon to the first element (a white image would do the trick)

EDIT:
li.mask = ... LVIF_IMAGE ... ;
li.iImage = -1;

Unfortunately there will be still an indentation for an image even if it doesn't exist.

So was this ever solved? I’m trying to put an image in column 1, but not column 0. Using CListCtrl::SetImageList automatically puts an image in column 0, and using I_IMAGENONE leaves an icon-width’d space next to the label.

Did you try to look into the LVS_EX_SUBITEMIMAGES (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb774732(VS.85).aspx) style?

Yes.

I have images in subitems, that’s not the problem. The problem is that by enabling images in a listctrl at all, images are added to the first column (column 0), and even when you set it to no image (eg I_IMAGENONE), an icon is still added to the column 0, but it is blank.

We are trying to find a way to have images in subitems, but NOT in the first column, and no blank “spacer” in it either.

Have you tried the way kkez mentioned? Using "lvi.nImage = -1" for the first subitem (subitem 0) could help :)
