Getting listview details

This depends on the type of selection (single or multiple rows).

To get the numbers of selected rows use CListCtrl::GetSelectedCount() [^]. If the count is not zero call

prevItemIndex = GetNextItem(prevItemIndex, LVNI_SELECTED);

count times (or until -1 is returned) where prevItemIndex is -1 initially.

Alternatively use GetFirstSelectedItemPosition() and GetFirstSelectedItemPosition().

If your report list is not set to full row selection, you have to check each column of the selected rows using GetItem() and checking there for the selection state:

LVITEM item;
item.iItem = prevItemIndex;
item.mask = LVIF_STATE;
item.stateMask = LVIS_SELECTED;
GetItem(&item);
if (item.state & LVIS_SELECTED)
{
    // column is selected
}

Pass the returned index(es) to GetItemText() to retrieve the text.


If you want to react when the selection is changed (e.g. to update the status bar), handle the LVN_ITEMCHANGED notification code (Windows)[^]:

// Example for CListView derived class
// Message map entry:
ON_NOTIFY_REFLECT(LVN_ITEMCHANGED, OnLvnItemChanged)

void CMyListView::OnLvnItemChanged(NMHDR *pNMHDR, LRESULT *pResult)
{
    LPNMLISTVIEW pNMLV = reinterpret_cast<LPNMLISTVIEW>(pNMHDR);
    // Selection state has changed when LVIF_STATE is set and
    //  LVIS_SELECTED state differs
    if ((pNMLV->uChanged & LVIF_STATE) && ((pNMLV->uOldState ^ pNMLV->uNewState) & LVIS_SELECTED))
    {
        // pNMLV->iItem is the item and pNMLV->iItem the column
        //  for which the selection has changed
    }
    *pResult = 0;
}
