any1 knows a style of list to fix my problem?

thanks in advanced,

Yaron

There isn't one. You will have to do this yourself whenever the user clicks on an item. Use GetSelectedCount() and GetNextItem() to loop through the selected items and set them all to the state you want.

If you're not using MFC, use the LVM_GETSELECTEDCOUNT and LVM_GETNEXTITEM mesages.

Hope this helps,

Ryan

thanks for the reply!

i am not using MFC, so i will use the LVM_ messages you've mentioned.

you said to catch the user clicks on the item. but what if the user select the item via the keyboard???

is there a certain message that item was selected? no matter how (keyboard or mouse?)

thanks again

LVN_ITEMCHANGED, which will detect if an item has been selected/unselected by either mouse or keyboard, but I'm not sure if it works when an item is checked or unchecked. Perhaps you could test it Smile | :)

Hi, thanks again for the reply.

i am using ATL/WTL, i have a dialog that correspond to the:
NOTIFY_HANDLER(IDC_MY_LIST_CTRL, LVN_ITEMCHANGED, OnListItemChanged)

and in the implementation:

LRESULT CAddContentDlg::OnListItemChanged(int idCtrl, LPNMHDR pnmh, BOOL& bHandled)
{
NM_LISTVIEW* pNMListView = (NM_LISTVIEW*)pnmh;

I'll have a go Smile | :)

LRESULT CMyDlg::OnListItemChanged(int idCtrl, LPNMHDR pnmh, BOOL& bHandled)
{
   NM_LISTVIEW* pNMListView = (NM_LISTVIEW*)pnmh;

   HWND hwndLV = pnmh->hwndFrom;  // List view handle

   // Get the current check state
   int iState = ListView_GetCheckState(hwndLV, pNMListView->iItem);

   // Loop through the selected items
   int iItem = ListView_GetNextItem(hwndLV, -1, LVNI_SELECTED);
   while(iItem >= 0)
   {
      ListView_SetItemState(hwndLV, iItem, INDEXTOSTATEIMAGEMASK(iState+1), LVIS_STATEIMAGEMASK);
      iItem = ListView_GetNextItem(hwndLV, iItem, LVNI_SELECTED);
   }

   return 0;
}

Hope this helps,

I'm trying to learn the alternative way of writing an IF statement. The code below returns a 0, it should be an 8 since 3<5, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks

<br />
<br />
#include <iostream><br />
<br />
using namespace std;<br />
<br />
int main()<br />
<br />
{<br />
int a = 3;<br />
int b (5);<br />
int x(0);<br />
<br />
a < b ? x == a + b : x == 9;<br />
<br />
cout<<x<<"\n\n";<br />
<br />
return 0;<br />
}<br />

You use the comparison operator (==) insted of the assignement operator.
Replace

a < b ? x == a + b : x == 9;<br />
<br />

a < b ? x = a + b : x = 9;<br />
<br />

[...] what am I doing wrong?

The result is false, whichever clause is executed:
x is neither equal to a+b (that is 8) nor is x equal to 9.

If you want to assign x a value, you need to write

a < b ? x = a + b : x = 9;

My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

You could also do this:

x = ( a < b ? a + b : 9 );

There are 10 kinds of people - those that get binary and those that don't.

x = ( a < b ? a + b : 9 );

This is the right way.

it is your function pointer to what you enter f.e. like argument to other function
that (other) function will call yours (call-back) if necessary
classic example is qsort - sorts array by by you defined criteria
you just need to enter data to sort and your callback function what will compare two items
the rest makes qsort not knowing about any data details
see qsort msdn example
