hi,

i'm having some trouble saving the contents of a table together with its glyphs...i tried LIST SAVE and LIST SAVEFILE but the glyphs are not saved, just the table contents...any ideas?

thanks in advance

In VDS 5, the glyphs are not stored within the table. Sad

You would have to create a seperate list with the glyphs you used to keep track of them.

Saving gylphs you assigned using VDS is probably not possible as it is hashed out also.
BTW if you are working on table element you may have a look at this to spice it up.

great stuff codescript...i will definitely look at using some of these api's

one question...is there an api i can use to unselect items in a table ie. the table is displayed but no items are selected!

thanks in advance

Just send a WM_LBUTTONDOWN message to the Table element before dialog show. I have not implemented much of the click stuff due to a bug in VDS - Rt clicking a selected item is ignored Sad

If you want to still differentiate RT and left click and show a rt click menu U can take a look at:

the last post I made in VDS tags.

Also I have another >20 API to show icons, list etc (just like your windows explorer views) bump edge, flat header, MDI child style etc etc. I will put thm together and post sometime.

Hi Serge
You can re-download it. I have updated it with the new examples. Now 63 commands Image list and large Icons are two things I left out to see how the VDS update comes up fixing the glyphs. Any changes may break it.
Enjoy

If you select a icon from a particular module then all the subsequent ones will be the same as first one. You said it is due to problem with the hashing VDS does. This occurs with bitcombo and Freezingfire some where mentioned same to occur with Table too.

I haven't tried personally though with table element as I couldn't set a bitmap to it Sad

Okay, I remember now. I fixed that problem.

Because the VDS TABLE element only implements a subset of the Listview functionality, it hasn't assigned an image list for large icons. So the chances are that if you did that using APIs you won't break anything.

hi codescript,

i redownloaded it and it shows around 41 items instead of the mentioned 63...am i doing something wrong?

Hi Serge
You are right file was not updated somehow. I fixed it Smile

Now U have 63 functions many are in a DSU more demos and window styles. User can minimize multiple tables within the dialog and work!.
Enjoy.

I just confirmed that the table/bitcomo/list DOES NOT load a bitmap from the disk as in my above example.Only it loads is from a resource in an dll/exe etc. I hope the fix has taken care of that too.

My test script has list add commands similar to yours and it works with or without a # in front of the bitmap name. That's tabletest.dsc in the VDS 5 demos.
