Dear All,

I am doing a visual C++ mfc dialog based application. In that I need to bring some data in a grid control.

I am able to add a grid control in my dialog. Following is the code to create a grid.

C++

CMFCListCtrl m_listGrid2;
CRect rectDummy;
GetWindowRect(&rectDummy);
DWORD dwStyle = LBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT | LVS_REPORT | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_HSCROLL | WS_VSCROLL;

m_listGrid2.Create(dwStyle, rectDummy, this, IDC_LIST1);
m_listGrid2.SendMessage(LVM_SETEXTENDEDLISTVIEWSTYLE | LVS_REPORT | DFCS_CHECKED , 0, LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT | LVS_EX_GRIDLINES);

m_listGrid2.InsertColumn(0, _T("Variable"), LVCFMT_LEFT, 100);
m_listGrid2.InsertItem(0, _T("b_A1GFHGKE"));

Here instead of putting a normal item, i need to have a checkbox column.BUt i am struggling how to add a checkbox in a grid.

Can anyone pls guide me in this??

Shiva.

Ooops! I've just seen that you still had problems with putting checkboxes in the other columns...

Well you won’t be able to put checkboxes in the other columns without extra tweaking.
In order to keep things simple I’d go for some of the articles that are here regarding custom made CListCtrl derived controls. I would recommend you the article by Hans Dietrich[^] XListCtrl[^] which will allow you to do plenty of things.

Apart of that article, you can check[box] :rolleyes: those ones also:

* allan Nielsen[^] SuperGrid - Yet Another listview control[^].

* Rolf Kristensen[^] CGridListCtrlEx - Grid Control Based on CListCtrl[^]

You'll notice that those :bob:ians classes will make your life easier when it is time to work with a CListCtrl...

HTH!

In CListCtrl you could use this extended style: LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES

Take a look at those posts here in CP:

Using Check Box in List Control[^]

Using the List Control[^]

CGridListCtrlEx - Grid Control Based on CListCtrl[^]

Hope this helps...

Hi Joan,

Thanks a lot for your excellent answer. But I need one more assistance from you.

If i use this GetExtendedStyle, I am getting Checkboxes only in the first column.

I am not able to insert values with checkboxes at the second column of grid.
Am i missing something here. Pls help me in this.

Shiva.
