Does anyone know of a good tutorial on Flags update in a Listview? and all that stuff?

VB

VB 6
      If (Flags And BNFLAGS_OP) = BNFLAGS_OP Then
               frmMain.lvChannel.ListItems.Remove frmMain.lvChannel.FindItem(Username).Index
               With frmMain.lvChannel.ListItems.Add(1, , Username, , ICON_GAVEL)
                   .ListSubItems.Add 1, , , GetLagIcon(Ping, Flags)
               End With
       Else
               With frmMain.lvChannel
                   .ListItems(.FindItem(Username).Index).SmallIcon = icon
               End With
       End If

Open up your favorite visual basic book and read the section on the bitwise operators, paying special attention to the AND, &, operator. The AND operator will tell you whether a bit is turned on, 1, or not.

The code above is correct and does what it is supposed to do.

I never said the code above was incorrect. He did however ask for a tutorial, as in something to teach him, on how to make his flags work. You responded with code, which works, and I responded with a way to learn about what you posted. See the difference? How will it help him to use code he may not understand?

Yeah, I didn't know who you were talking to, and he can look it up on MSDN.

Stop being a jerk.  You both gave valid answers.

If want some help on Flags Look in Bnet docs on the main page...Or you can aim me on Phyc0freek and ill  help you

It is not however a tutorial so it's obviously completely utterly failing to answer a question asking for a tutorial instead of a code sample.

      If (BattleNetFlag And FlagValue) = BattleNetFlag Then
         ' flag is set
      Else
         ' flag is not set
      End If


if the flag's set, update the icon on your listview, if not, leave it how it is

bitmasking is the term, I believe.  (just in case you want to look this up)

He wasn't asking for help with the flags I think he meant the event.

Well his question was kind of ambiguous so I just gave a code sample of the "flagsupdate_event".

Basically what i said, the code I posted covers all the flags if your "GetIconCode" function is made properly

Not really since bitmasking is different then bitwise.

bitmasking is a bitwise function?

btw, you mean MY GetIconCode function.
