Additionally, if you'd like to be able to set the color for every item inside your CListCtrl you can use this derived CListCtrl .

The following example uses this CListCtrl-derived class.

  • Can this control be added to an Excel Userform?

    Posted by horose on 03/27/2005 02:38pm

    I have an application that displays some data from an Excel spreadsheet in a format similar to the multi-column list pictured in your example. Can this control be added to an Excel Userform. If this is possible, it would be very useful to me. Howard

    Fix:
    in function SetSel(..) change following line:
    if (SetItemState(pos, nState, LVIS_SELECTED|LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT))

    to

    if (SetItemState(pos, nState, LVIS_SELECTED|LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT|LVIS_FOCUSED))

  • Found a bug in ColorListCtrl.cpp

    Posted by Legacy on 04/20/2003 12:00am

    If I'm saying wrong, please correct me.


    I found in 1 column case, actually AddItem() doesn't work well. (items can be added but CMyLParam objects not)


    As a result of it, when you do DeleteAllItems(), since the

    size of the items > 0, CListCtrl::GetItemCount() is always true. However, since CMyLParam object == NULL (not allocated), CColorListCtrl::DeleteItem(0) does nothing in each time. That way, this becomes an infinite loop.


    Here is what I tried to fix it.

    I replaced,

    [line 206 in ColorListCtrl.cpp]

        lvi.iSubItem = 1;

    with the following;

        if ( columns > 1 ) lvi.iSubItem = 1;


    This way, it's working now. In other words, the previous code assumed more than 1 columns, I guess.


    Hope this helps somebody who encountered the same situation.

  • Why don't use CListCtrl-functions? BkColor does not work!

  • Minor error in InitDialog - possible correction

    A loop in OnInitDialog ends with the line:


            if (pos!=LISTCTRL_ERROR) ;


    Maybe it should be:


            if (pos == LISTCTRL_ERROR) 

                 break;
