list control

i just removed some of the lines from the code void CSpeedDial::OnSpeedDelete() { POSITION pos = m_speedList.GetFirstSelectedItemPosition(); int index = m_speedList.GetNextSelectedItem(pos); m_speedList.DeleteItem(index); // TODO: Add your control notification handler code here } but how can i move an item up and down in the list i am a beginner

Which can be shortened to:

void CSpeedDial::OnSpeedDelete()
{
int index = m_speedList.GetNextItem(-1, LVIS_SELECTED);
if (index != -1)
m_speedList.DeleteItem(index);
}

By deleting it and inserting it into the correct location.

thanks, that code is really short and simple. I tried moving a selected item up in the list control, but it is not working. what may wrong with the code void CTestingDlg::OnUp() { int index = m_cListCtrl.GetNextItem(-1, LVIS_SELECTED); m_cListCtrl.InsertItem(index -1, m_cListCtrl.GetItemText(index, index)); m_cListCtrl.DeleteItem(index +1); // TODO: Add your control notification handler code here }

Delete first, then insert.

deleting it first, deletes the row as i click on the buttom i extracted my code from here. BOOL CListCtrlEx::MoveRow(int from, int to) { //Can't move to the same place, or from or to a negative index if(from == to || from < 0 || to < 0) return FALSE; //First Copy the row to the new location if(CopyRow(from, to)) { //If we have just inserted a row before //this one in the list, we need to increment //our index. if(from > to) DeleteItem(from + 1); else DeleteItem(from); return TRUE; } else return FALSE; } BOOL CListCtrlEx::CopyRow(int from, int to) { //Can't move to the same place, or from or to a negative index if(from == to || from < 0 || to < 0) return FALSE; //Copy the row to the new index InsertItem(to, GetItemText(from, 0)); //If row has been inserted before original //increment the original if(from > to) from++; //Loop through subitems for(int i = 1; i < GetColumnCount(); i++) { SetItemText(to, i, GetItemText(from, i)); } return TRUE; }

It's not a good idea to copy code from elsewhere unless you have a good understanding of what it is doing. If the code is doing a specific task and you copy it to a new location, its role will change.

void OnClickMoveUp( void )
{
int nIndex;
CString strCommand;

nIndex = m\_listctrl.GetNextItem(-1, LVNI\_SELECTED);
ASSERT(-1 != nIndex);

strCommand  = m\_listctrl.GetItemText(nIndex, 0);

m\_listctrl.DeleteItem(nIndex);

nIndex = m\_listctrl.InsertItem(nIndex - 1, strCommand);

}

thanks, it works perfectly with a list with only one column, what about if you have 2 columns

Multiple calls to GetItemText(), for starters.

i did sth like this and the result was no good at all void CTestingDlg::OnUp() { int nIndex; CString strCommand,strCommand2; nIndex = m_cListCtrl.GetNextItem(-1, LVNI_SELECTED); ASSERT(-1 != nIndex); strCommand = m_cListCtrl.GetItemText(nIndex, 0); strCommand2 = m_cListCtrl.GetItemText(0,nIndex); m_cListCtrl.DeleteItem(nIndex); nIndex = m_cListCtrl.InsertItem(nIndex - 1, strCommand); m_cListCtrl.SetItemText(nIndex-1,1, strCommand2); }

strCommand2 = m_cListCtrl.GetItemText(0,nIndex);

Should be:

strCommand2 = m_cListCtrl.GetItemText(nIndex, 1);

do i have to do changes to the last code. the text on the 2nd column are not showing m_cListCtrl.SetItemText(nIndex-1,1, strCommand2);

What does SetItemText() return? Have you verified that strCommand2 contains anything?

strCommand contains the correct string. i think the problem have to do with the SetWindowText. do you have any suggestion of what i can do. -- modified at 6:02 Wednesday 12th July, 2006

SetWindowText() is not used with a list control.
