Listviews

brew · August 17, 2007, 10:33 PM

Okay, i'm wondering how do i set the font for the listview's items. Nobody seems to know, and all the examples i've seen use MFC or something else, and the only real listview control example doesn't modify the font at all, so i'm out of ideas. does anyone know how i would do this?

That didn't help me very much.

I knew you would respond saying so. I just wasn't sure how long I'd actually have to wait. If you study that page you will understand how to fix your problem easily. It cleared things up for me.

Sure, maybe for you, but i wouldn't know things such as where
LRESULT RootWindow::OnLVCustomDraw(NMLVCUSTOMDRAW* pcd)
would go.... I'm clueless. What notification or message am i looking out for and when do i do this, none of that page answers those important questions.
All that I really know is that i have to do something that concerns NMLVCUSTOMDRAW...
Actually, it looks kind of like MFC. I'm not using MFC at all.

EDIT** Oh, so i'm supposed to look out for the NM_CUSTOMDRAW notification. IS there any special listview style i have to add to the listview to get this? (LVM_NOTIFY)?

EDIT** I dont think my listview likes me handling WM_NOTIFY for some reason, it only adds like 6 of the people to the channel list where it would add all of them no problem without handling that...

Can you provide any actual help? At all? In any of my topics? I'm pretty sure I've heard "rtfm" over nine thousand times and that's really, not helping.

"RTFM" stands for "read the fucking manual." If you did some research (maybe you should memorize MSDN), and then you didn't bitch when people actually provided substantive help, more people might be inclined to more thoroughly help you.

I know what RTFM means, myndfyre. I was reading MSDN all last night and I still wasn't able to find much out, other then to set the window's text, something about a pointer to a custom draw struct, and do this all on WM_NOTIFY, however it doesn't work out very well when i don't return defwindowproc() on WM_NOTIFY, thanks. Not like Explicit ever actually helped anyone at all with anything related to actual programming... so why even post? And if he's going to post, why is he posting a 4 letter word, and a period? That response doesn't really help much, especially after i've mentioned serveral times i'm already reading msdn, and i'm getting little if nothing out of it, that's all. So far i've seen you link me twice to that same topic, it looks like you want me to look at it differently or something, thanks, it's just that I don't appriciate being called ignorant when I don't look at msdn to find out what a UINT_PTR is and find it's something completely different then what would logically make sense. I even said I figured it out. All I did is just mention that typedef being wrongfully named. Really.
And by the way, I do greatly appriciate people helping me out. Thanks, shadow, for helping me with that timer control. I wouldn'tve guessed right off that the callback sub for the timer optionally takes 4 parameters, especially considering how vb6 makes everything else so grossly oversimplified.

You're ignorant. Also, RTFM is an acronym, not a 4 letter word. Additionally, you are being referred to the same place over and over because it's the answer to what you want. You're just a stubborn jackass.

I believe what he wants to do is set a different font for each item in the listview, which is what the link I provided him with.
The link I provided is MFC, but it uses the same functions regardless if you're using MFC or Win32 API alone. I just don't see how it's so hard to follow that link :/.

Oh. (That's dumb). But yeah, your link is good then.
