I got this working ! mistake was, I did not use memset(&lvItem,0,sizeof(LVITEM)); in the below code snippet LVITEM lvItem; lvItem.mask = LVIF_TEXT | LVIF_PARAM; lvItem.iItem = 0; lvItem.pszText = ""; ListView_InsertItem(m_hWnd, &lvItem); ListView_SetItemText(m_hWnd, 0, 1, "Properties") :-D

removed LVS_OWNERDRAWFIXED, items still not visible.

I removed LVS_OWNERDRAWFIXED, even then the inserted item is not visible.

Hi All, I have an activex control subclassed from SysListView32. I wanted it to appear and work like the property grid the we see in VS 2003/2005. I was able to get the look right. The problem is even though I added items using ListView_InsertItem, these items are not visible on the list control. In PreCreateWindow, I am setting the style like this: cs.style |= LVS_REPORT | LVS_NOCOLUMNHEADER | LVS_OWNERDRAWFIXED; In OnCreate, I am adding the columns and a single item like this: ListView_InsertColumn(m_hWnd, 0, "Empty"); ListView_InsertColumn(m_hWnd, 1, "Property Name"); ListView_InsertColumn(m_hWnd, 2, "Property Value"); LVITEM lvItem; lvItem.mask = LVIF_TEXT | LVIF_PARAM; lvItem.iItem = 0; lvItem.pszText = ""; ListView_InsertItem(m_hWnd, &lvItem); ListView_SetItemText(m_hWnd, 0, 1, "Properties") I also used OnCustomDraw, OnEraseBkgnd & MeasureItem methods to archive my look and feel. Please help !

For user selection trigger in combo box, check out this code project link: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/combobox/xtipcombobox.aspx[^] This article talks about Tooltips but you can use the same trigger functionality for your requirement. Hope this helps.

There is no timeout option for a MessageBox API. I would suggest use a dialog box, make it generic enough to be used. Use timer inside the dialog box. something like this: Call SetTimer(1, 10000, NULL) in CMsgBoxDlg::OnInitDialog() method. //10000 for 10 secs In timer method: void CMsgBoxDlg::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent) { // TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default CDialog::OnOK(); CDialog::OnTimer(nIDEvent); } Add a public member function to accept message box string and caption. Use static control to display the provided string on the dialog box with a 'Ok' button. Hope this helps Thammadi

I created a test application and I am using GetControls() method, which returns an object of class CWMPControls. This class has all the control methods like play, pause, stop etc. As I said earlier I am using WMP ver 11. I am not sure if the above class is defined for earlier versions of the WMP control. Try to upgrade your WMP to 11 and check it out. If it doesn't work out.. I'll share my test source code then.. Thammadi

Your requirement can be met by using Windows Media Player component for playing audio/video files. Follow the below steps: Create a dialog box application. Select Project->Add to Project->Components and Controls. Select Registered ActiveX Controls folder Select Windows Media Player component When you select, a confirm classes dialog box appears. Click "OK" Go to your dialog resource. Windows Media Player icon would be displayed on the controls selection view. drag drop the control onto your dlg box. Add a member variable for the control in the class wizard. Use 'SetURL' and GetControls() methods of the media player object for controlling the audio/video files (like play, pause, stop etc.) E.g m_MPlayer.SetUrl("D:\\Songs\\Xyz.mp3"); m_MPlayer.GetControls().play(); FYI: I am using Windows Media Player Ver 11 Hope this helps! :) Thammadi

Even I am interested in knowing how :) Thammadi

Hi, I tested the same code without crash. After 'if', are there anymore statements? Thammadi

Can you be specific with your requirement? Thammadi

In you client application, add this string (#include "yourATLDLL.rc") in View->Resource Includes->Compile-time directives edit box. Next, in Project Settings->Resources tab, under "Additional resource include directories:" edit box, add (..\foldername) where your "ATLDLL.rc" file is located. Hope this helps. Thammadi
