Handling a ListView control by programming

Overview

WINDEV allows you to handle a ListView control by programming. To do so, use the variable the of ListView control in the code. This variable is a numeric variable.

The variable of ListView control:

corresponds to the name of ListView control.
is initialized with the subscript of the element selected in the ListView control.

Remark: To handle a ListView element not associated with any stored item, use the following syntax:

<Name of ListView control> [ <Element subscript>]

Initializing a ListView control

Initializing an element

To initialize an element found in a ListView control, use ListAdd.

ListAdd(LSV_ListView1, "Sun", "C:\IMG\Sun.JPG")
ListAdd(LSV_ListView1, Photo)

Filling a ListView control

To initialize a ListView control, an iteration loop must be used to initialize all control elements.

Subscript is int
FOR Subscript = <Start position> TO <End position>
ListAdd(<Name of ListView control>, <Value>, <Image>)
END

i is int
FOR i = 1 TO 52
ListAdd(LSV_ListView1, NAME[i], Image[i])
END

Selecting an element in a ListView control

Selecting the element of row whose subscript is <Subscript>

To select the element found at <Subscript> row, use:

the direct assignment:

<Name of ListView control> = Subscript
ListSelectPlus:

ListSelectPlus(<Name of ListView control>, <Subscript>)

Positioning on the last element of ListView control

To position on the last element of ListView control, use:

..Count:

<Name of ListView control>..Count
ListSelectPlus associated with ..Count:

ListSelectPlus(<Name of ListView control>, <Name of ListView control>..Count)
ListCount:

ListCount(<Name of ListView control>)

Retrieving the element selected in the ListView control

Retrieving the subscript of selected element

To retrieve the subscript of selected element, use:

the direct reading of element:

Subscript = <Name of ListView control>
ListSelect:

Subscript = ListSelect(<Name of ListView control>)

Remark: For multiselection ListView controls, ListSelect is used to retrieve the selected elements.

// Retrieve the elements of a multiselection ListView control
Rank is int = 0 // selection number
Subscript is int = 0 // subscript of selected element
LOOP
Rank = Rank + 1
Subscript = ListSelect(LSV_ListView1, Rank)
IF Subscript = - 1 THEN BREAK
END

Retrieving the value of selected element

To retrieve the value of selected element, use one of the following syntaxes:

Syntax 1:

Subscript is int = <Name of ListView control>
<Variable> = <Name of ListView control>[Subscript]
Syntax 2:

<Variable> = <Name of ListView control>[<Name of ListView control>]
Syntax 3: ..DisplayedValue property

<Variable> = <Name of ListView control>..DisplayedValue

Caution: The value stored in programming can differ from the displayed value. To find out the stored value corresponding to one of the rows found in the ListView control, use ..StoredValue.
