This article illustrates how to use the new (v4.72) common control feature of custom drawn controls in connection with the list control to create a grid list control. This is part of the whole implementation for the grid list control. This article covers the custom drawing to indicate the cell with focus and keyboard navigation […]

Unlike a listbox control, the list view control does not has a SetCurSel() or the SetSel() function. To achieve that, we can use the following statement. m_listctrl.SetItemState( rownum,LVIS_SELECTED | LVIS_FOCUSED , LVIS_SELECTED | LVIS_FOCUSED); If you dont use the LVIS_FOCUSED flag and the control allows muliple selection, then you will likely end up with two […]

The list box control class has a selection function SelItemRange(). This function, though missing in the CListCtrl class, is easily implemented. // SelItemRange – Selects/Deselect a range of items // Returns              – The number of new items selected // bSelect              – TRUE to select, FALSE to deselect // nFirstItem           – index of first item to […]

To retrieve the index of the first selected item use GetNextItem(). As its name implies, you can use also use the GetNextItem() function to retrieve the index of the next selected item. The code below prints out the indices of all selected items to the debug window. // This code prints out the indices of […]

Class for using new features in listview control This class was contributed by Rui Santos. The CListCtrlEx class allows you to easily use the new features in the listview control that comes with IE4. You could also use the Technology Preview from Microsoft but if it is just the listview control you are after you […]

I wanted a CListCtrl in icon view mode only (no switch to other view modes), but tried to “store” additional string information in subitems. So I’ve useed used … SetItemText (nIndex, 1, strMoreInfo) and according to the help it returned Nonzero for “successful”. but then later on when I tried to use that string with […]

If you Ever wanted to do a full row select, be able to drag a whole column to another position, draw a grid and do some other interesting things to your CListCtrl derived class. Well now you can by setting the extended styles associated with the CListCtrl. This article will give the various flags, their […]

Information above the divider pertains to the update of 6/13/98. I have redone the sorting. It should be much improved now. I have tested this sorting, and it will work much more reliably than the old stuff. Also I added support for sorting by float. There is now no need to check the Owner Draw […]

void CIvSceneListCtrl::Print(CDC* pDC, CPrintInfo* pInfo) { CClientDC dcScreen(NULL); pDC->SetMapMode(MM_ANISOTROPIC); //map 1 screen logical inch to 1 printer. pDC>SetWindowExt( dcScreen. GetDeviceCaps(LOGPIXELSX),dcScreen. GetDeviceCaps(LOGPIXELSX)); pDC->SetViewportExt( pDC->GetDeviceCaps(LOGPIXELSX), pDC->GetDeviceCaps(LOGPIXELSX)); CPen pen(PS_SOLID,1,RGB(0,0,0)); CPen* OldPen = pDC->SelectObject(&pen); CHeaderCtrl* pHeader = (CHeaderCtrl*) GetDlgItem(0); if (pHeader) pHeader->SendMessage(WM_PAINT,(WPARAM)pDC->m_hDC); SendMessage(WM_PAINT,(WPARAM)pDC->m_hDC); pDC->SelectObject(OldPen); }

This article was contributed by Matthew Bells. This code is an enhancement to the code by Zafir Anjum and Mark Findlay which provides full row highlighting and TitleTips enhancements for the CListCtrl. If you’ve noticed in MS-Dev, the TittleTips show highlighting. This code is an extension which has TitleTips which can change colors as well […]

Download the source and example. I found several articles about sorting a CListCtrl, adding visual feedback in the header… on the codeguru page and I have encapsulated this into a reusable base class CSortedListCtrl that encapsulates code from several other articles. With this class, the user doesn’t have to care about all this sorting stuff, […]

When making major changes to a list control (and other controls) it is a good idea to turn off updating of the control. To do this you would use SetRedraw(false) at the start of the change and SetRedraw(true) at the end, and then invalidate the control. However, SetRedraw simply turns redraw on or off, it […]
