SetItemText

[David Kadish]

To All, I am using SetItemText after the column is properly inserted and the InsertItem function is called. The Scrollbar shows that the rows have been inserted, but I can't see any text when using SetItemText. What a headache. What should I do?:eek:

The List control can be a little bit quirky sometimes. Not knowing what your code looks like makes it a little difficult to diagnose, but here is my InsertItem/SetItemText code for a front-end application to a DVD collection database:

for( int i = 0; i < m_titles.GetSize(); ++i )
{

CMovieTitle\* title = (CMovieTitle\*)m\_titles\[i\];

int itemCount = m\_movieList.GetItemCount();
m\_movieList.InsertItem(itemCount, title->m\_sTitle ,0);
m\_movieList.SetItemText(itemCount,1,title->m\_sFormat);
m\_movieList.SetItemText(itemCount,2,title->m\_sRegionCode);
m\_movieList.SetItemText(itemCount,3,title->m\_sRating);
m\_movieList.SetItemText(itemCount,4,title->m\_sReleaseDate);
m\_movieList.SetItemText(itemCount,5,title->m\_sVideoReleaseDate);
m\_movieList.SetItemText(itemCount,6,title->m\_sStudio);
m\_movieList.SetItemText(itemCount,7,title->m\_sPresentation);
m\_movieList.SetItemText(itemCount,8,title->m\_sFeatures);
m\_movieList.SetItemText(itemCount,9,title->m\_sSound);
m\_movieList.SetItemText(itemCount,10,title->m\_sLanguage);
m\_movieList.SetItemText(itemCount,11,title->m\_sDuration);

}

CMovieTitle is a wrapper class that I use to hold one record from the database. In this example I am iterating through all of the records and inserting the data into a list control. You also may be interested in how I am initializing my list control. Here's my code from OnInitDialog (my app is a dialog app):

m\_movieList.InsertColumn( 0, "Movie Title", LVCFMT\_LEFT, -1, 0);
m\_movieList.InsertColumn( 1, "Format", LVCFMT\_LEFT, -1, 1);
m\_movieList.InsertColumn( 2, "Region Code", LVCFMT\_LEFT, -1, 2);
m\_movieList.InsertColumn( 3, "Rating", LVCFMT\_LEFT, -1, 3);
m\_movieList.InsertColumn( 4, "Release Date", LVCFMT\_LEFT, -1, 4);
m\_movieList.InsertColumn( 5, "Video Release Date", LVCFMT\_LEFT, -1, 5);
m\_movieList.InsertColumn( 6, "Studio", LVCFMT\_LEFT, -1, 6);
m\_movieList.InsertColumn( 7, "Presentation", LVCFMT\_LEFT, -1, 7);
m\_movieList.InsertColumn( 8, "Sound", LVCFMT\_LEFT, -1, 8);
m\_movieList.InsertColumn( 9, "Features", LVCFMT\_LEFT, -1, 9);
m\_movieList.InsertColumn( 10, "Language", LVCFMT\_LEFT, -1, 10);
m\_movieList.InsertColumn( 11, "Duration", LVCFMT\_LEFT, -1, 11);

m\_movieList.SetColumnWidth( 0, 60 );
m\_movieList.SetColumnWidth( 1, 60 );
m\_movieList.SetColumnWidth( 2, 60 );
m\_movieList.SetColumnWidth( 3, 60 );
m\_movieList.SetColumnWidth( 4, 60 );
m\_movieList.SetColumnWidth( 5, 60 );
m\_movieList.SetColumnWidth( 6, 60 );
m\_movieList.S

Ever heard how inefficient for loops are? Might be tidy, but it is certainly slower. Not to mention, my column widths may not always be equal. ;-) Thanks. -Matt ------------------------------------------ The 3 great virtues of a programmer: Laziness, Impatience, and Hubris. --Larry Wall
