This section describes the window message processing performed by a list view
control. Messages specific to list view controls are discussed elsewhere and
are, therefore, not included here.
Message
| Processing performed
|
WM_CHAR
| Searches for a list view item that begins with the specified character and, if
the item is found, selects and sets the focus to the item.
Multiple characters received within a time-out interval are concatenated, and
the list view control searches for an item that begins with the resulting
string.
|
WM_COMMAND
| Processes the EN_UPDATE and EN_KILLFOCUS notification messages and forwards all other edit control notifications to
the parent window.
|
WM_CREATE
| Performs additional initialization. If the LVS_SHAREIMAGELISTS window style is
not specified, the list view control creates the icon and small icon image
lists at this point.
|
WM_DESTROY
| Frees resources.
|
WM_ERASEBKGND
| Erases the window background using the current background color for the list
view control. If the background color is the CLR_NONE value, the list view
control forwards the message to the parent window.
|
WM_GETDLGCODE
| Returns a combination of the DLGC_WANTTAB and DLGC_WANTARROWS values.
|
WM_GETFONT
| Returns the handle of the current label font.
|
WM_HSCROLL
| Scrolls the list view control horizontally.
|
WM_KEYDOWN
| Processes the SPACEBAR, ENTER, and arrow keys and sends a LVN_KEYDOWN notification message to the parent window.
|
WM_KILLFOCUS
| Repaints the focused list item, if any, and sends a NM_KILLFOCUS notification message to the parent window.
|
WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK
| Sends the parent window an NM_DBLCLK notification message.
|
WM_LBUTTONDOWN
| Processed in different ways depending on whether a click or drag operation is
being initiated. To determine which operation is involved, the list view
control enters a modal message loop until either the button is released or the mouse
is moved.
In the case of a click, the list view control may change which item has the
focus and which items are selected, taking into account the cursor position, the
state of the SHIFT and CTRL keys, and so on. Then the list view control sends its parent window an NM_CLICK notification message.
If dragging begins over an item, the list view control selects and sets the
focus to the item. Then it sends an LVN_BEGINDRAG notification message to the parent window. The parent window is responsible
for actually carrying out the drag operation.
If dragging begins over the window background, the list view control enters
another modal message loop, enabling the user to form a rectangle by dragging the
mouse. Items within the rectangle are selected.
|
WM_NCCREATE
| Allocates and initializes an internal data structure and then calls the DefWindowProc function.
|
WM_NCDESTROY
| Frees resources allocated by the list view control. Unless the
LVS_SHAREIMAGELISTS style is used, this includes deleting the full-sized and small image lists.
|
WM_NOTIFY
| Processes header control notification messages.
|
WM_PAINT
| Displays any items in the update region. For callback items, the control first
sends an LVN_GETDISPINFO notification message to the owner window to request display information. If
the wParam parameter is non-NULL, the control assumes that the value is an HDC and
paints using that device context.
|
WM_RBUTTONDOWN
| Processed the same way as the WM_LBUTTONDOWN message, except that the control sends an NM_RCLICK notification message (instead of NM_CLICK) and an LVN_BEGINRDRAG notification message (instead of LVN_BEGINDRAG).
|
WM_SETFOCUS
| Repaints the focused list item, if any, and sends an NM_SETFOCUS notification message to the parent window.
|
WM_SETFONT
| Saves the specified font handle, forwards the message to the header window, if
any, and repaints using the new font.
|
WM_SETREDRAW
| Turns redrawing on or off.
|
WM_TIMER
| Begins editing of an item label. If the user clicks the label of the focused
item, the list view control sets a timer instead of entering edit mode
immediately. The timer makes it possible for the list view control to not enter edit mode if the user double-clicks the label.
|
WM_VSCROLL
| Scrolls the list view control vertically.
|
WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED
| Updates the window scroll bars. If the current view is icon or small icon view
and the LVS_AUTOARRANGE style is specified, the list view control also
arranges the list items.
|
WM_WININICHANGE
| Processes changes to system metrics.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
