Changing List View Styles

You can change the window style of a list view control after it is created. First, use the GetWindowLong function to get the current style. Then use the SetWindowLong function to specify the new style. For a complete list of the list view window styles, see List View Window Styles.

The following example changes the style bits that govern the view mode.

// SetView - sets a list view's window style to change the view.

// hwndLV - handle of the list view control

// dwView - value specifying a view style

VOID WINAPI SetView(HWND hwndLV, DWORD dwView)

{

// Get the current window style.

DWORD dwStyle = GetWindowLong(hwndLV, GWL_STYLE);

// Only set the window style if the view bits have changed.

if ((dwStyle & LVS_TYPEMASK) != dwView)

SetWindowLong(hwndLV, GWL_STYLE,

(dwStyle & ~LVS_TYPEMASK) | dwView);

}
