How to span columns in CListCtrl
-
My application scrolls data in real-time over several columns using a CListCtrl (MSVC++ 6.0). I'd like to occasionally put a user-message that takes up the entire row, spanning all the columns in the table. The MFC Grid Control doesn't seem to have this feature (hint hint). Does anyone know if this has been done? Thanks! Eric ---------------------------------------- Please reply in the forum--email is filtered
You could subclass the control and put code in to draw to text manually (just the "full line" text). Steve

It's not supported by the control directly, but it isn't terribly difficult. Review the various custom draw articles in the CListCtrl section here on CP - you want to intercept drawing for a specific row, and draw it yourself.

Which implies that a list control certainly doesn't! Can you embed an Excel sheet into the application?

Yes, the Excel functionality is just what I'm thinking of, but I think embedding an Excel sheet would probably be overkill

This is what I'm looking into now. I'm stumbling a little on the issue of how to derive from CListView because CListView HAS A CListCtrl, but supposedly can act as if it IS A CListCtrl. Thanks for the response...

Actually, CListView IS a CListCtrl. If you look at the implementation of GetListCtrl(), it merely does
return (*(CListCtrl*)this);
or something similar.

Use custom draw to draw whatever you want in your user-message rows. See: Neat Stuff to do in List Controls Using Custom Draw[^] --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~! Ericahist | NEW!! PimpFish | CP SearchBar v3.0 | C++ Forum FAQ

Thanks Mike, I had scanned your article and for some reason didn't think it was what I needed. It is EXACTLY what I needed, thanks. Since my derived CListView class IS A CListCtrl apparently, I'm using the ON_NOTIFY_REFLECT version. Embedding a CString pointer in the items lparam, and using DrawText to draw the string centered in the row. Returning *pResult = CDRF_SKIPDEFAULT to prevent any other drawing in these rows.

Hi, can you just me show the code for the same Regards Shri
