CListCtrl help!

Hy everyone!
I have a CListCtrl in my dialog that has a lot of items, so list is scrollable,
i have just 1 problem, when user wants to search an item in the list, if a match is found it notifies the user via MessageBox and highlights the item in the list, i do this all successfuly, but user has to scroll down to the item to see it is selected.

How can i make that when item is found that list scrolls itself to that item?
Please help, thanks!

Hi !

You can use CListCtrl::SetHotItem using index to set item as selected...

Thanks ,

1) Find the position of the item you already searched.
2) Take a look at how many row in your list control if without scroll.
3) According the row you got , using scroll if exceed row without using scroll, you may call scroll.

Hope I already understand what you are writting.

You can use the EnsureVisible() function for this.

Use the search function ('EnsureVisible CListCtrl') for more examples.

But it just highlights the item, list does not scroll to that item,
i need a way so that the list scrolls to that item... Can u help?

Thanks blueday54555, it works!

How is the selected item highlighted.

i used this

Quote:

---

pl->SetHotItem(num - 2);
pl->SetSelectionMark(num - 2);
pl->SetCheck(num - 2, TRUE);
pl->EnsureVisible(num - 2, FALSE);

but its not highlighting the selected one

Double check your program first, if question, you'd better think it over for why first , then you will learn some more.

You have to use SetItemState()
e.g.

Code:

---

................
list->SetFocus();
list->SetSelectionMark(index);
list->SetItemState(index,LVIS_SELECTED, LVIS_SELECTED);
list->EnsureVisible(index, FALSE);
...................
