Visual Basic :: Listview Columns In List View

Moving Columns On A Listview (Report View)
I want to programmatically set the Position of the columns in a list view.

This is an "after thought" so I am trying to do it on already loaded listviews.

I see from a little experimentation that I can easily move the column headers by simply changing the .position property.

But that does not bring over the data for that column. (Just the header)

Do I have to manually move the data or there an easier way?

(By "manually move the data" I mean set up a temp array, copy the column's data, update new column after moving other column into original col number)

List View Select - Multiple Columns
I have a listview control with two columns...

1. File Name
2. Extension

When I selected the file I return the file name, but if i want to retrieve the properties regarding the file i need the extension which is in column 2...

This will get the information in column 1 (File Name)

Set objFile = objFSO.GetFile(DirList.List(DirList.ListIndex) & "" & lstFileList.SelectedItem.Text)

How do I get it so that it gets the info in column 1 and adds the info of column 2 to that string? i.e.

file name extension
mydoc doc
myvideo avi
myemail eml

i want it so that when i click on mydoc the string becomes... mydoc.doc, any ideas? thanks

Sorting On DATE Columns In MS List View
Does anybody know how to get this to work?

The listview seems only capable of accepting strings as it's items so dates have to be converted to text and therefore are sorted as text.

How can I get around this?

Copy Listview Items To Another List View
Is there a quick way I can copy a list view item to another identical list view (ie having the same columns) without having to copy all the individual components separately. ie. the foreground colour, the icon, the sub items etc.

So basically something like:

set itmTo=lsvTo.ListItems.Add()
itmTo=lsvFrom.ListItems(nFrom)

The above code only copies the .Text property, not all properties.

Resizing Columns In One Listview To Automatically Resize Corresponding Columns In Another.
I'm currently building the front end to a VB6 application. This app is largely based on entering data into a Listview. In order facilitate data entry, I need to create an editable row beneath the listview, comprising of text boxes(unless there is a better method) and an "add" button. The problem is that when a column in the Listview is moved or resized, the array of textboxes need to reflect this change of order/size, as each textbox needs to appear beneath its corresponding column. Also, if the listview contains a large number of columns, and therefore a horizontal scrollbar, the textboxes will need to scroll also... I would be very grateful for any help..! Thanks...

Visual Basic List View Control To View Network Computers
Hi,

I am working on simple network connect utility and ready with the functinality. But I am stuck at a very important aspect of the GUI where I need a List View Control that will view the computers from the available LAN domains. And will let us select a particular computer on expanding the domain List Item. If not a list view then a treeview rather.

Also will this control let me select a NETWORK COMPUTER ONLY but not shared folders on its individual drives. Only computers has to be selected. Not the nodes (folders) shared at them.

Thanks.

Windows File Explorer.. Icon View And List View.
I'm trying to duplicate a function of the explorer.. The folder contents view.

See example of what I mean...
http://www.ibarn.net/fun/files/thumblist.jpg

I can do everything I need using the filelistbox with the sole exception of changing the display style. I don't want a file list, I want a list-view or icon-view. (Preferably both, with the option to switch between them.)

So my question to you fine people is...... what API or component could I find this capacity in? I've looked at all of the components and didn't see anything that looked close, and a search on the subject yeilds hundreds of people trying to emulate the "filemanager" explorer style, but none trying to kick out a normal, boring icon view like this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

List View PopUp Prob (lvwIcon View) *Resolved*
Hi all,

I have a listview in large icon view (lvwIcon). I have a popup menu displaying some options when the user right clicks an item that is specific for that item.

My question is this -

I want a different popup menu to show when the user right-clicks on a blank area of the listview which would display general options.

In my testing, whenever a blank area is clicked, the selected item is the first item (if none had been selected) or the current selected item (if one had already been selected).

I currently use the selecteditem.text to determine what pop up menu is to be used.

I guess in theory the code might be something like ;

Code:
If lvwMain.SelectedItem = Nothing then
PopupMenu mnuGeneral
Else
PopupMenu mnuSpecific
End If

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Adding Columns To A Listview That Already Has Columns
Hi

I'm new to VB6 (I usually program in VB.NET but have been asked to make an enhancement to a VB6 application).

I have a listview which has columns defined within it in the designer. The code I am looking at then retrieves data from a db and puts it into the listview.

I've been asked to add another column in the middle of the listview e.g. there are 10 columns defined in the designer and this new column needs to go at position 6. However, the data that needs to go in the new column needs to come from a different query than the one that fills the other columns. I therefore thought that the best way to do it was fill up the original columns and then slot in the new column and fill it from another query. I've been searching around but can't find any example of how to do this.

Please can anyone help, or suggest a better way to do it? Thanks!

Matching List View To Tree View
Hi Everyone,

Quick Question. I have a list view and a Tree view that are sharing the same data. The Tree view control lists all the Task Names and the List view control has the task detail. (Start, End Date and resources.)

The only issue is that the Line widths do not match. The Tree View nodes have more white space between them then the list view. Is there a way that I can match the width of the tree view rows to the rows on the List view?

Thanks

Removing Columns From Datasheet View
Hi all, please help!

I have a subform (in datasheet view) that has to show/hide different columns under different contexts.

I tried

mytextbox.visible = false

where mytextbox is a textbox in the subform. This hides the textbox in Form View, but doesn't do the trick in Datasheet View.

I also tried

mytextbox.ColumnHidden = true

This method hides the column in the datasheet, but the column is still in the datasheet. So the user can bring the hidden column back by resizing the column (dragging the column header).

It there any way to truely hide/delete/remove a column from a datasheet view???? I've looked everywhere on web, but in vein.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!!

List Box - How To Have Left && Right Aligned Columns In The Same List Box.
Hi,

Excel 2000, VBA

Is it possible to have the different columns with left & right alignment in the same list box.
ie. columns 1 & 2, left aligned and column 3, right aligned.
One way I can think of is to place another list box over column 3 of the first list box, but it does make for fiddly coding.
I've googled, but not found anything. Any suggestions welcome.

What Is The Limits On COmbo Box, List Box And LIst View And How Do You Handle Situations W
OK<
I have looked at all 5 of my vb Barnes and noble books
under listbox
and did not find where it said what the limit was.

I learned how to read a data base (unbound even) into a list box, or combo box.

But now I have over 32,768 items,
my data base list has between 100,000 - 125,000 Parts I want to load.

I can think of a lot of cases where the data base you want to load into a list or combo box is well of 32768

So my questions are
( I did also search VBCITY)

1) What is the limits on
listbox
combo box
list view

and

where is it documented.

and 2

How do I handle the case of more than 32768 with a listview??

I did found a little bit about it on vbcity

Thanks

Changing To A List View Instead Of A List Box To Overcome 32768 Limits
I had the program done
I was loading a listbox and typing is a text box watching the closest match be selected.
I start off by filling the list box from a mdb with a table called partlist,
and a field called part numbers

It worked fine.
But now because I am over 32768 ( I will never go over 125,000) records, I am past the usefullness of a list box I guess.

so How do I change this code that works with a listbox, to code that works with a viewbox

and is this my best solution

Here is the listbox working code

Public Function FillListboxparts(Optional PartNumber As String)
   Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass
   Dim li As ListItem
   Dim lih As ListItem
   Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
   Dim rsPartList As ADODB.Recordset
   Dim strSQL As String

   strSQL = "SELECT PartNumber From partlist"


   Set cnn = New ADODB.Connection

   cnn.Open ConnString
   Set rsPartList = New ADODB.Recordset
   rsPartList.Open strSQL, cnn

While Not rsPartList.EOF
    listboxparts.AddItem rsPartList("Partnumber")
    rsPartList.MoveNext
Wend
Text1.Text = listboxparts.ListCount
rsPartList.Close
Set rsPartList = Nothing
cnn.Close
Set cnn = Nothing

Set li = Nothing
Set lih = Nothing
  Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault
  End Function

Hi, I am trying to get a List View to act like a combo box. At the top of the List View there is a text box where the following code searches the List View for the text entered, I have this code in the Change event of the text box so a search is done on each letter typed.

The code finds the record without a problem but I want it to move to the top or into view. Right now I have to scroll down to find the record it selected. Anyone have any ideas? Here is my code:

On Error GoTo NoRecord

If txtFindFirst = "" Then
GoTo NoRecord
Else
l = Len(txtFindFirst.Text)
For i = 1 To lstContacts.ListItems.Count Step 1
If StrConv(txtFindFirst, vbUpperCase) = StrConv(Left(lstContacts.ListItems(i).Text, l), vbUpperCase) Then
lstContacts.ListItems(i).Selected = True

Listview Columns
this is a quick question really can u parse a site out into a listview with columns for different info from the site?
its a bit tricky to explain and show you as i want to connect to a site in inet grab the source parse out some hardware information,how many on the site, and how many on order and the price into one listview nicely 'ordered with column headers..
i can connect and parse the hardware info into the listview fine but i was wondering on how to do the other parts but because u need an account on the site i cant show u it however here is some of the info from the source (the parts ive gotten out and im needing to parse out..

HTML Code:
>10/100MBPs NIC</a></td><td align="right">4.96 £</td><td align="right"><div class="g">4</div></td><td align="right"><div class="b">2<

theres say part of the info from the source ive gotten the 10/100 "part" fine but i need to get the "4.96, class="g">4< amount and class="b">2< amount (which change obviously...
is this possible to parse into a listview with columns to save me having to go to the site each time and then get those parts of the info which really defeats the purpose of the program? or do i need to use a different control other than listview?
any help or tips would be great

Listview Columns
when using a listview in report mode, do you always have to have a blank list at the end.

when i add columns through its properties there is always another blank one, and if i try and size it to fit the size i want it either still shows a bit of the blank one or i get rid of it and a scrollbar appears.

any ideas!
thanks.

ListView Columns
I have 5 columns in the ListView, all were added via code at runtime. Now, for example, I want to remove column with index 2, problem is, the data from the last column disappears and all the data gets shifted so column with index 3 will now have what column with index 2 had before removing. Is there an easy way to remove column and all the data in it (like Access 2000 does) or do I have to go item by item moving subitems from each column to previous one making 2 last columns identical in data but not column header text, then it should work, because last column will be removed anyway. Here's when another problem comes up, if I add a new column, the data from last column will become visible again, so I really didn't remove column completely, just the column header and made data in the last column invisible. Maybe when I'm adding columns, I need to specify a key or index or what not to remove it completely? I just want to remove the whole column (header and data in it) completely, and shift all the columns to the left; and when I add a new column, I want it to be "blank", meaning no data in it. Of course, it all can be done via long code. I have to set each item's subitem of the new added column to "", etc. but there should be an easier way!
Thanks
