Listview text color per cell

[BOB MECHLER]

I need to be able to change the text color in a listview at run time as it is being drawn initially. It may be several colors that are used in the same or different columns. Ex. Black for positive amounts and Red for negative amounts. Other columns might be different colors for types of investments. The idea could expand to correspond to a pie chart legend on the same screen.

Thanks,

Bob Mechler

Bob,

You need to use the virtual list view. Here's a link to one that shows check boxes, not what you wanted, but close - http://www.powerbasic.com/support/fo...ML/010563.html

What you have to do is process the wm_notify message for the listview. Then you're going to process %NM_CUSTOMDRAW. Somewhere I have a sample that I documented, so I'd know how it works. If I can find it, I'll post.

>You need to use the virtual list view

Not true. You can simply process WM_NOTIFY/NM_CUSTOMDRAW notifications for a 'regular' listview control (regular = style does NOT include LVS_OWNERDATA).

See the multiple checkbox demo link I posted. That uses a 'regular' style listview and owner-draws only selected columns (subitems) on the NM_CUSTOMDRAW notification.

OWNER-DRAW <> VIRTUAL

For that matter, a VIRTUAL listview does not require owner-drawing!!

"OWNER-DRAW" and "VIRTUAL" ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS!!!

Bob,
I would DEFINITELY look into MCM's Multiple checkbox demo. (It's the one I am blatantly stealing..."oops I meant LEARNING from" )

What interested me most was ability to change a "Single Cell", font, color etc. and multiple checkboxes that were NOT restrained to the 1st column.

Some other things I am playing with also found in the forums is comboboxes, instead of editing.

(Long ways off, but all the more learning)

Thanks, I have enough to chew on for a while.
