CListCtrl question

ArielR

I'm working in VC++6. How can i do to set the cursor in a row position of CLisCtrl? That way, if the user press down or up arroy the movement starts from the designated position. I can use the CListCtrl.EnsureVisible( iPos, TRUE) to ensure visibility but the movement starts from the begin. Thanks a lot.

Try using list.SetItemState(iPos,LVIS_FOCUSED,LVIS_FOCUSED). See CListCtrl::SetItemState[^] for more information.

Thank you very much!

You're welcome. I've used the list control a fair amount, and I know some of the things that ought to be easy can be difficult to find in the MS documentation.

I agree too. Examples in MS documents are so poor. m_mylistctrl.SetItemState(iItem, LVIS_SELECTED, LVIS_SELECTED);

BOOL SetItemState(
int nItem,
UINT nState,
UINT nMask
);

But I still don't know what do these two LVIS_SELECTED mean. Should they always be the same? Anybody can tell me?

Not agree... I have many times found no usefull help in MSDN. It depends on what you look for. Some times the explanations are too poor and the examples vanal.

This approach lets you set some state bits and clear others in a single call. The nState argument contains the bits you want to set, while the nMask argument contains the bits you want to change. For example, if you call it like this:

m_mylistctrl.SetItemState(iItem,LVIS_FOCUSED,(LVIS_FOCUSED | LVIS_SELECTED));

this would set the LVIS_FOCUSED state and clear the LVIS_SELECTED state for the specified item.

I didn't say MSDN was perfect. I just said that it was often more difficult to find things in it than it should be. The MSDN Library has been reorganized several times, often without any improvement in content.
