Create List-View Control?

intelandmicrosoft — Mon, 20 Sep 2004 21:30:30 GMT

Could someone give me an example of how to create a list-view control? Here is what I have so far which does not work. This function is suppose to create a list view control and return it's handle. I plan on putting it inWM_CREATE.

INTEGER FUNCTION CreateListView(hWnd)
!DEC$ ATTRIBUTES STDCALL, ALIAS : '_WinMain@16' :: WinMain
USE IFWIN
INTEGER hWnd
INTEGERiRet

type (T_RECT) rcl
type (T_INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX) iccex

iccex%dwSize = sizeof(iccex)
iccex%dwICC = ICC_LISTVIEW_CLASSES
iRet= InitCommonControlsEx(iccex)

iRet = GetClientRect(hWnd, rcl)

CreateListView= CreateWindow (WC_LISTVIEW, &
"", &
IOR(IOR(IOR(WS_VISIBLE, LVS_REPORT), &
LVS_EDITLABELS), WS_CHILD), &
0, &
0, &
rcl%right - rcl%left, &
rcl%bottom - rcl%top, &
hWnd, &
NULL, &
ghInstance, &
NULL)

END FUNCTION

a) Definition of WC_LISTVIEW is defect in DFWINTY.f90 -- it's missing terminating char(0). Instead, use "SysListView32"C.

b) Your DEC$ATTRIBUTES line is spurious (but it's not related to the list view problem)

Otherwise, I don't see anything obviously wrong -- if it still doesn't work, what's the return value of GetLastError?

I filed a bug report on this problem. I'm astonished nobody's noticed this before.... It looks as if all the character constants in DFWINTY (and IFWINTY) are like this.

FWIW, these constantsweremissing for quite some time (as far as I recall, they may have been introduced in 6.5 or so), so I got used to spelling them out as literals.I don't recall what's in N. Lawrence's book though.

I figured out my problem is the comctrl32 dll. It's not loading up properly before I try to create the List-View Control.

TYPE (T_INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX) iccex
iccex%dwSize = sizeof(iccex)
iccex%dwICC = ICC_LISTVIEW_CLASSES

NOW comctl32.f90 lists two ways to preloading the necassary com dll

1) SUBROUTINE InitCommonControls

2) FUNCTION InitCommonControlsEx

I can't get either subroutine or function to work? It will say unresolved external _InitCommonControls?

So i try the following and get it to compile subing in random numbers for ??? until it compiles. By the way is there a better way to get the ??? number besides random guessing?I'm guessing it hase something to do with the size of the variables passed in and returned?

!DEC$ ATTRIBUTES STDCALL, ALIAS : '_InitCommonControls@???' :: InitCommonControls

!DEC$ ATTRIBUTES STDCALL, ALIAS : '_InitCommonControlsEx@???' :: InitCommonControlsEx

Now when it does finally compile, the program crashes right away and still says com module not found, but when I compile I dolink against the com dll by adding /link ComCtl32.Lib to ifort?

Yes, you have to add "comctl32.lib" to the list in Project/Settings/Link.

But you should not mess with "subing in random numbers for ??? until it compiles." Where did you substitute "???" ? If you USEd DFWIN or COMCTL32, you have included the correct prototype for InitCommonControls* -- youonly had to add the correct library.

For your information, the numberbehind @ is, generally, equalto 4*number of arguments. Thus, itis _InitCommonControls@0 and _InitCommonControlsEx@4. If there are string arguments which don't have !DEC$ATTRIBUTES REFERENCE attribute, thereis anadditional hidden argument per string argument. DECORATE attribute in the interfaceblock tells the compiler to calculate the decoration automatically (take a look yourself e.g. at ...DF98IncludeUSER32.f90).

The constants will get their trailing NULs added in a future update - possibly the next one but if not, the one after that.
