My beautiful function
-
since the item number in a CListCtrl (ICON view) doesn't really reflect its on-screen position, i am forced to execute this function to arrange things work after a drag and drop. note that all i do here is copy the items out, clear the control, then put the items back exactly as they came out. i was mad when i wrote this.
struct stupidFuckingHack
{
std::string txt;
LV_ITEM lvi;
};void CTIFFAssemblerListView::ReorderTheFuckingList()
{
/*
first, get all the fucking items in the fucking CListCtrl
*/
std::vector<stupidFuckingHack> items;
char title[MAX_PATH + 1];
for (int i=0; i *lt; GetListCtrl().GetItemCount(); i++)
{
stupidFuckingHack shit;ZeroMemory(&shit.lvi, sizeof (LV\_ITEM)); shit.lvi.iItem = i; shit.lvi.mask = LVIF\_TEXT | LVIF\_IMAGE | LVIF\_PARAM; shit.lvi.pszText = title; shit.lvi.cchTextMax = MAX\_PATH; GetListCtrl().GetItem( &shitem.lvi); shit.txt = title; items.push\_back(shit);}
/*
hold on.. don't let the user see this
*/
GetListCtrl().LockWindowUpdate();/*
delete every fucking thing
*/
GetListCtrl().DeleteAllItems();/*
put them all back in, exactly as they came out. duh.
*/for (i=0; i < items.size(); i++)
{
stupidFuckingHack &shit = items.at(i);shit.lvi.pszText = (char \*)shit.txt.c\_str(); shit.lvi.mask = LVIF\_TEXT | LVIF\_IMAGE | LVIF\_PARAM; GetListCtrl().InsertItem(&shit.lvi);}
/*
now things are as they should be, you piece of shit control
*/
GetListCtrl().UnlockWindowUpdate();

Well, as far as efficiency goes, since you know in advance how many items you're dealing with, you could pre-allocate them, both for the vector and the list (after you've deleted them)(not sure how the list handles memory allocation after items have been deleted; it might not be any benefit; shouldn't hurt though). Optimizations like this wouldn't matter if you've only got a few items at any given time though. Could make a huge difference once you get several hundred (list is pretty slow WRT re-allocating memory). As far as functionality, maybe use
SetRedraw()instead ofLockWindowUpdate()? Everything else looks ok, except for the asterisks in the symbol names... ;)Shog9 --
Maybe Java is kind of like God, it "works in mysterious ways". It seems like your apps are running slowly, because in the backgroud Java is solving world hunger, or finding the cure to cancer. - Ryan Johnston, Don't die java!

yeah. there are only going to be a few items in this list. efficiency isn't a concern here. -c

Well, you ought to be using C++ style comments instead of C comments. :-D I work on an installer and uninstaler for drivers, some of the code surrounding API's (or registry hacks to get around using APIs that won't work) are similar, but a little more toned down. Enough to make others who look at the code laugh, but not bad enough to get me fired. Even if you win the rat race, you're still a rat.
