Hi Gregory,

I like your posting. I had to locate tray.pbr correctly in my
directories before it would run.

There is a lot in the ListView to come to grips with. I have had
to go to quite a few C and C++ sites to work with many of the examples
provided there and slowly convert the code to PB.

Keep at it.

Regards,

David

Hi Gregory,
This is a nice no-nonsense example. Nice work! I do have
one question though. Shouldn't one use ImageList_Destroy to
free up the memory for the image list when you no longer need it?
Maybe I am misinformed about image lists but I always understood
they are not automatically destroyed. Other then that question,
it works great!

Listview destroys the attached imagelist.
It depends on the style.
Be carefull with system imagelists!

Adam,

Thanks for your good comments. This example just uses Dlgproc
and winmain. I find that with examples if you throw in tons
of custom functions it gets confusing.

Thats a good point about the ImageList_Destroy.
I'll have to do more research on that.

Thanks Edwin for pointing that out. I went back and checked
the List view window styles in the help guide and it does point
out if you use the LVS_SHAREIMAGELISTS style then the control
doesn't take control of the image list and therefore doesn't
destroy it. Learn something new every day I say.
Well at least I know now.

Adam

Greg, it looks great. I was a little concerned about your arrangement
of SDK winmain() and winproc() code. If I get a little more time down the
road, I will add this to the ListView code example of Peter Redi along
side of a TreeView Control, to get a similar GUI as with the Windows Explorer.

Jules,

Thanks for your nice comments. You mention that you were
concerned about my arrangement with the Winmain and winProc
functions, can you elaborate more on that?

Thanks

Hi Greg,

Can you please post some examples of how to put the ListView into Report view and deal with multiple columns (Subitems).

As a full time VB programmer, I use the ListView control extensively. I want to be able to do the same things in PB.

Thanks.
