How to get the selectedColumn in a CListCtrl.

[FISH786]

i have a report style CListCtrl. How do i retrieve the text from the individual cell. Actually I have been able to get the selected row but seem to be having problems trying to get the row,column combination. this gives me the row: int nSelected = m_handselection.GetNextSelectedItem(x); I have searched and might have either overlooked or could not find anything to give me the column.

GetItemText[^]

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

Yes. CString GetItemText( int nItem, int nSubItem ) I can get the the nItem which is the row i have clicked. How do I get the nSubItem?

CString GetItemText( int nItem, int nSubItem ) Did you see the definition. Don't you spot the return value from the function. Spoonfeeding Uhh!

nSubItem == column

Not. really. I did get the row, but can't get the column. I used nItem = m_myListCtrl.GetNextSelectedItem(pos); but could not find anything simmilar to GetNextSelectedItem() to get the Column. Like I said I don't know and could not find what to use to get the column. Was asking for help only. Thanks In advance.

thanks. I realized that but am having a hard time or have missed something to get the column. I know I have the right row, since when i use the getItemtext with the nItem, and hadcoded "0", I get the first column values. But once again I am having a difficult time to change that "0" to the selected column or clicked column cell.

Ah - you want the sub-item that the user clicked on! The selection model for lists only includes selected rows, not columns. This means that what you need to do is handle the NM_CLICK notification[^] for the list view. This notification contains a pointer to an NMITEMACTIVATE structure[^] which contains details of where the click occurred, including the sub-item. You can then store that sub-item as the 'last-clicked sub-item'?

You have to maintain what column was clicked by the user. See handle mouse-events and keyboard-events: CListCtrl and Cell Navigation[^]
