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

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

    to

  • 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;
