ListView corrupt after LVM_DELETEITEM message

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

Multicolumn Listview control (in report view) item list becomes corrupted after deleting an item using LVM_DELETEITEM message; the item is "visually" removed however part of the item list spawns an "off by one" error in the listview's item index.
Perhaps some "clean up" is needed in the corresponding LVN_DELETE notification, but I have no idea what. I am using Win32 API on windows 2000 with VC6. Please help.

There are no pre- or post-requisites for using LVM_DELETEITEM, other than that the item number (zero based) be valid.

Perhaps you are seeing some display artifacts; try to do a RedrawWindow() on the list control after the delete.
