Custom draw listview

I'm using visual c++ 8. I am trying to implement custom drawn listview in pure win32(NO MFC) based on articles on the web, however it doesn't seem to work.What am i doing wrong? PLEASE help. (This code is based on an article i found on the web,which used the same code, to colour a lisview on a dialog.I am not using dialogs here) Here is the code ...

Code:

Please use CODE tags when posting code.

I don't think you can use DWL_MSGRESULT unless you are using a dialog. Instead, call ProcessCustomDraw yourself when necessary.

Kelly

Thanks for the reply.

About the calling of ProcessCustomDraw when i need to, the problem is that I am not sure when i should be calling it.

I tried removing the setwindowlong and calling processcustomdraw but it still doesn't work. I would appreciate any help in this problem.

Please, define "doesn't work" and edit your OP, adding Code tags (read the Announcement: Before you post.... )around the code snippet, otherwise no one will care to read/understand it!

Terribly sorry about the code tag. I wasn't aware i should use it. I will use it in my next thread.

My code is not working. By this I mean the code given here, which is meant to change the forecolor and backcolor of items in a listview, is not working. The creation and adding of items of the listview are working well and the program also runs, however only the default forecolor(black) and backcolor is used.

Using breakpoints i found that "case CDDS_PREPAINT" is the only case that hits, the other cases are never true at any point in the program.

I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong, please help.

Then let's wait for the next thread... :ehh:

As I already wrote you, no one will care to read/understand your code written without any indents.

What VictorN is saying is that you should edit your original post, adding CODE tags around the code portion. That will make it much easier for us to read and try to figure out.

Kelly

Sorry I caused so much trouble. I edited the original post and put the code tags. Please help me solve the problem i.e. changing the forecolor and backcolor of a listitem. Thanks in advance

Here's how I to custom drawing, to make some items look disabled. Maybe it will help:

Code:

---

switch( message )
{
        case WM_NOTIFY:
        {
                if( ( (LPNMHDR)lParam )->code == NM_CUSTOMDRAW )
                {
                        switch( ( (LPNMLVCUSTOMDRAW)lParam )->nmcd.dwDrawStage )
                        {
                        case CDDS_PREPAINT:
                                return CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW;
                        case CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT:
                        {
                                if( !isElementActive( ( (LPNMLVCUSTOMDRAW)lParam )->nmcd.dwItemSpec ) )
                                {
                                        ( (LPNMLVCUSTOMDRAW)lParam )->clrText = RGB( 200, 200, 200 );
                                }
                                else
                                {
                                        tInt32 color = getElementColor( ( (LPNMLVCUSTOMDRAW)lParam )->nmcd.dwItemSpec );

                                        ( (LPNMLVCUSTOMDRAW)lParam )->clrText = RGB( (color >> 24), ((color >> 16) & 0xFF), ((color >> 8) & 0xFF) );
                                }

                                return CDRF_NEWFONT;
                        }
                        default:
                                return CDRF_DODEFAULT;
                        }
                }

Thanks everyone. I tried Kelly's initial suggestion to call the ProcessCustomDraw instead of the setwindowlong fn, but i found it didn't work. This was because I called it as

ProcessCustomDraw(lParam);

rather than

return ProcessCustomDraw(lParam);

It is working now. You guys are the best.
