code samples on sorting a listview?

[dacid]

Seems that there is not too much out there...

[dacid]

Im playing with Iczelion tutorial 31... it seems to work pretty well but as this code is a little old ... would you recommend me to use it or there is better routines out here?

[dacid]

any info or code about auto size column headers?

[PBrennick]

When you create the listview (or later) youe one of the following flags, LVS_SORTASCENDING OR LVS_SORTDECENDING.

This sorts the listview the first time you add items, doesnt it?... Im using the iczelin code adapted to my program to sort the items when you click on a header. I realized that the "arrow" that some apps shows in the header is not something that windows does automatically.. any info about this?

You can add an icon to the column when you create it and you can modify the icon by sending the listview the message LVM_SETCOLUMN and set the LVCF_IMAGE to the new image in LVCOLUMN

You should really download the Platform SDK if you can it is a big help!

dacid,

Filled with knowledge and good code.  Everything I needed for ListViews I got from his example.  Click on "GoAsm Projects" and scroll down to ListView.  The code is in GoAsm style, but it will be easy to change to your assembler of choice.  I think it will do everything you asked for, except AutoSize the columns, and I would love to know how to do that.

Thanks again, Donkey!!

hth,

Something like this?

Code Select Expand


    ; set column 1 width
    invoke  SendMessage, hLVMain, LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 0, LVSCW_AUTOSIZE
; column 2
    invoke  SendMessage, hLVMain, LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 1, LVSCW_AUTOSIZE_USEHEADER

[dacid]

yes, it works pretty well here. thanks gunner.

thanks farrier for the link.

Gunner,

Yes!  The strange thing is that I use LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH many places in a few programs, but I never paid attention to the "Auto" features.  Thanks!

Hey, another question  :red .. Im using CreatePopupMenu and AppendMenu to create a right-click menu over the listview... Im triying the same way I do in the Window Menu:

MENUITEM "&Refresh\tF5",IDM_REFRESH

szRefresh "&Refresh\tF5",0

But it shows the "\tF5" instead of right-align the "F5" string.

[jj2007]

Try szRefresh "&Refresh", 9, "F5", 0

[dacid]

thank you!

What msg sends the listview to announce when the user select a item or multiple items?

EDIT: I fount it:  LVN_ITEMCHANGED

[dacid]

Can I make a Window menu (defined in .RC file) with some items disabled?


MENUITEM "&Refresh\tF5",IDM_REFRESH


Or I must disable in WM_CREATE ?
