Can't highlight a row in a listview

[michael_green]

Hi,

I'm using a list control with view set to report. It works perfectly well for the most part, but I'd like all items in a particular row to be highlighted when the user clicks on any item in that row. However, I can only get items in the leftmost column to be highlighted, and then only when I click directly on the item. Is there a way to do this?

With many thanks in advance,

MIke

Add LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT to list view's extended styles.

Hi Jugoslav,

Thankyou for that, it works fine. I'm using the following to determine which item was selected:

case(WM_NOTIFY)
if(uParam==IDC_selection)then
pListView = lparam
if(pLvdi%hdr%code==LVN_ITEMACTIVATE)then
iret = SendMessage(hWndList,LVM_GETNEXTITEM, &
-1,MAKELPARAM(LVNI_SELECTED,0))
it = iret + 1
end if
end if

This works as long as I double click the selected row. How can I make it work from a single click?

With many thanks again,

Mike

Any chance it received LVS_EX_TWOCLICKACTIVATE somehow (=#80 = WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW)?

Hi Jugoslav,

I created the list control by selecting it from the Control tool palette. It is Visible, is a Tab stop, is of Report style, and has a Border. No other options are selected. So the answer to your question is no, but you gave me a clue - I have sent it LVS_EX_ONECLICKACTIVATE, and now it works perfectly.

Many thanks again for your help,

Mike
