Listview with ProgressBar

[Borje Hagsten]

Hm, added a cw3 variable for third column and after that has been taken
care of, can do something like:

  'COLUMN.. the rest..
  GetClientRect hListView, rc
  rc.nLeft  = cw1 + cw2 + cw3 'add up column widths and see if we have something left to paint
  IF rc.nLeft < rc.nRight THEN FillRect @lpdis.hDC, rc, GetSysColorBrush(%COLOR_WINDOW)

Have only used ownerdrawn listview once before, in code where I wanted
columns in different colors, so fumbling in the dark here. Normally, not
necessary to sub-class and handle WM_ERASEBKGND, but this is a bit special.
Okay, if process is slow and fast screen update, guess one can live with
slight flicker and skip sub-class. Definitely better for total repaint..

Real neat implementation is by also adding %LVS_OWNERDATA style to LV.
Then, virtual, ownerdrawn listview - must keep items in global array,
but advantage is one can add a million items to list instantly. See if
I can extract a sample from other huge code here later on today.

Nor sure about THREAD CLOSE there. Never had to work with the THREAD
commands, so don't know if it's correct way to do it.

------------------
Forgot, need to add "DECR rc.nTop" after text is drawn in second column,
otherwise it will cause "lines" in last columns.

Okay, found that keeping it sub-classed and trapping %WM_NCPAINT
helps a lot. Can still fail to ensure proper redraw in some cases,
but mostly works pretty well. Have changed code above too.

CALLBACK FUNCTION LvSubClass
  SELECT CASE CBMSG
     CASE %WM_NCPAINT 'something triggered repaint, allow it to happen
        pbStep = 0
 
     CASE %WM_ERASEBKGND
        IF pbStep THEN   'prevent repaints during progress
           FUNCTION = 1 : EXIT FUNCTION
 
        ELSE             'but sometimes need to ignore and repaint..
           pbStep = 1
        END IF
 
  END SELECT
  FUNCTION = CallWindowProc(OldLvProc, CBHNDL, CBMSG, CBWPARAM, CBLPARAM)
END FUNCTION

Thanks Borje, Everything works now. I turned off Column headers
because if you move the columns around and scroll to the right
it messes up repainting. The makes sense because we used the
width of each column. Not the position of each column.

In any case, I think it looks better without Column headers.

Thanks again,

Cute Jules!

At least my wife thinks so...

p.s. BTW, can't take the credit, that belongs to Borje!
