CListCtrl Get selection?
-
Ive gone quite crazy at microsoft for the weirdness of the CListCtrl, I just want to find out the contents of the selection in my list.. I can only find this:
short Selected = m_MyList.GetSelectionMark();But that returns the number of the item, if i fill my list with "Linux" and "Windows" then i would like a method which returns "Windows", or "Linux"... Are there any functions for that?? Thanks! (Using VS6.0 dialog based mfc app...)//Johannes

Try:
CString sText;
int nSel;
nSel = m_MyList.GetSelectionMark();
if (sel != -1)
{
sText = m_MyList.GetItemText(nSel, 0);
}:)

Thanks, that works great :) My other problem with my CListCtrl is kind of weird... I use NM_CLICK and LVN_KEYDOWN messages, when i use the arrow keys and navigate to the end of the list contents, and try to keep going (ie at the end push down arrow a few more times) i seem to get an offset with 1 (when i go back up), same happens when i go upwards... I think the reason for this is that the LVN_KEYDOWN is not the message i want, as it seems to be called before the selection mark has changed, which message do i want? :^) Thanks :-D

Can't you check if actual item is different of first / last item before moving?

Are you using a multiselect list control?
