This example illustrates how to use an Access database file
with an IE 4.0 virtual list view.
Download sample project 63KB.
Loading large amounts of data into a CListView derived class
is a very slow process, even when the data is maintained in
memory. Accessing data in a database slows the process down even
further. One of new features of a list view control is the
ability to load data when it is needed. Below are the steps
envolved.
You must have a version of COMCTL32.DLL that came with IE 3.0
or later.
Open up you database file.
Use your document object to open your database, and record
set. In this example I use a dynaset type recordset. This allows
me to set the relative record number of a recordset object’s
current record by using CDaoRecordSet’s SetAbsolutePosition
member function. Pass the a pointer to the recordset to your view
class in an appropriate manner.
BOOL CVirtualListDoc::OnOpenDocumentFile(LPCTSTR lpszPathname) { CString m_FileName = lpszPathname; pDBase = new CDaoDatabase; pDBase->Open(m_FileName); CString strSQL = "SELECT * FROM TableName ORDER BY ColumnName";//Set up SQL statement pRecordSet = new CDaoRecordset(pDBase); pRecordSet->Open(dbOpenDynaset, strSQL);//Open recordset using SQL statement pRecordSet->MoveLast();//you have to access the records in the dynaset to get GCDaoRecordSet::etRecordCount() to work }
Set the ListView’s style to LVS_OWNERDATA:
BOOL CVirtualListView::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs) { cs.lpszName = WC_LISTVIEW; cs.style &= ~LVS_TYPEMASK; cs.style |= LVS_REPORT; cs.style |= LVS_EDITLABELS; cs.style |= LVS_OWNERDATA; CListView::PreCreateWindow(cs); }
Set number of items in list:
You have to tell the list view how many items it will contain.
This is done by sending a LVM_SETITEMCOUNT to the list control.
Do this and set up the list views columns in the views
OnInitialUpdate() member function. You can send a LVM_SETEXTENDEDLISTVIEWSTYLE message to the
control to set any of the new extended listview styles.
void CVirtualListView::OnInitialUpdate() { CListView::OnInitialUpdate(); /*set number of items in list to number of items in RecordSet*/ /* create image list*/ imageList.Create(IDB_IMAGELIST, 16, 1, RGB(0,0,0)); GetListCtrl().SetImageList(&imageList, LVSIL_SMALL); /* set extended stlyes*/ DWORD dwExStyle = LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT | LVS_EX_GRIDLINES | /*LVS_EX_SUBITEMIMAGES |*/ LVS_EX_HEADERDRAGDROP | LVS_EX_TRACKSELECT; GetListCtrl().SendMessage(LVM_SETEXTENDEDLISTVIEWSTYLE, 0, LPARAM(dwExStyle)); LV_COLUMN lvColumn; lvColumn.mask = LVCF_FMT | LVCF_WIDTH | LVCF_TEXT | LVCF_SUBITEM; lvColumn.fmt = LVCFMT_LEFT; lvColumn.cx = 120; for(int i = 0; i < GetFieldCount(); i++) // set up columns { CDaoFieldInfo fieldinfo; pRecordSet->GetFieldInfo(i, fieldinfo);//get field name int len = fieldinfo.m_strName.GetLength(); CString temp = fieldinfo.m_strName; TCHAR* szBuffer = new TCHAR[len + 1]; strcpy(szBuffer, temp.GetBuffer(len)); temp.ReleaseBuffer(); lvColumn.pszText = szBuffer; GetListCtrl().InsertColumn(i, &lvColumn);//insert column delete szBuffer; } /*set number of items in ListView*/ count = pRecordSet->GetRecordCount();//Get number of records GetListCtrl().SendMessage(LVM_SETITEMCOUNT, (WPARAM)count, (LPARAM)LVSICF_NOINVALIDATEALL); }
Create a handler to handle
LVN_GETDISPINFO messages:
void CVirtualListViewView::OnGetDispInfo(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult) { LV_DISPINFO* pDispInfo = (LV_DISPINFO*)pNMHDR; TCHAR szValue[MAX_PATH]; COleVariant varValue; long index = pDispInfo->item.iItem; long subItem = pDispInfo->item.iSubItem; if(pDispInfo->item.mask & LVIF_TEXT) { try { pRecordSet->SetAbsolutePosition(index);//Set the file to desired index } catch(CDaoException* e) { return; } try { if(subItem) pRecordSet->GetFieldValue(subItem, varValue); else pRecordSet->GetFieldValue(0, varValue); } catch(CDaoException* e) { return; } const VARIANT* variant = LPCVARIANT(varValue); switch(variant->vt) { case VT_I2:{ wsprintf(szValue, "%d", variant->iVal); break; } case VT_I4:{ wsprintf(szValue, "%d", variant->lVal); break; } case VT_R4:{ wsprintf(szValue, "%f", variant->fltVal); break; } case VT_R8:{ wsprintf(szValue, "%f", variant->dblVal); break; } case VT_CY:{ COleCurrency c(varValue); CString s = c.Format();//ie. 1.00 strcpy(szValue, s.GetBuffer(s.GetLength())); s.ReleaseBuffer(); break; } case VT_DATE:{ COleDateTime t(variant->date); CString s = t.Format( "%A, %B %d, %Y" );//Day of Week, Month Day, Year strcpy(szValue, s.GetBuffer(s.GetLength())); s.ReleaseBuffer(); break; } case VT_BSTR:{ CString str = V_BSTRT( &varValue );//convert BSTR to CString strcpy(szValue, str.GetBuffer(str.GetLength())); str.ReleaseBuffer(); break; } case VT_BOOL:{ if(variant->boolVal) strcpy(szValue, "TRUE"); else strcpy(szValue, "FALSE"); break; } case VT_UI1:{ strcpy(szValue, (char*)variant->bVal); break; } default: break; } lstrcpyn(pDispInfo->item.pszText, szValue, pDispInfo->item.cchTextMax);//set item text } if(pDispInfo->item.mask & LVIF_IMAGE) pDispInfo->item.iImage = 0;//set image to first in list *pResult = 0; }
