I voted 5 but then checked the article and did not find LBS_OWNERDRAWVARIABLE in the text, only LBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED (see my Answer). Does this article really address all problems of the height? (I did not see the source code though.)

I have read CP Article, but it's helpless for me to let the rows have different height.In CP Article, I can konw how to set the height of rows, but all the rows will have the same height.However I want the rows have different height.
Thinks.

Then you are using the wrong control. Many times many people stick to something and try to solve it using only that method. Instead re-define what you want to solve and keep your options open. Can ListView or Grid Control the job for you?

I believe it's really a problem that I want about CListCtrl.

I think the only way for me is drawing the control by using CHeadCtrl and CWnd. Thanks a lot.

The Question is not formulated clearly. Maybe you mean that your you need different items if your List Box to be of different heights? Then you need to OR the style LBS_OWNERDRAWVARIABLE to your list box style bit set, not LBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tdzk1x67(v=vs.80).aspx[^].

Sorry, and I want different rows in List Control to be different heights.
I believe the way you mentioned would be a good one about List Box, but what I want should in List Control.Thinks and wait your more answer.

Opps! Sorry, I did not read properly.
According to this, it is not solvable with list view control:

Thank you, but probably this it does not make an answer, as I answered for list box, not list view.
I don't think you're right up-voting my answer this time :-<

The procdure is valid for multiple controls - from the WM_MEASUREITEM Message
documentation:Sent to the owner window of a combo box, list box, list-view control, or menu item ... The MFC documentation focuses on MFC - so you often have to go to the API documentation when you want to figure things out.

ITGrit 16-Mar-11 6:12am

I think it WM_MEASUREITEM can't make rows in different height.Please describe more clearly, thinks a lot.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 16-Mar-11 15:43pm

I think you're right. I explained: I gave up with list view; it looks like the trick works with list box but not with list view. I noticed list view is generally pretty ugly control; there are other problems.
Sorry,
