Aslan,
Short of sub-classing the TABLE element I don't know of a way VIA API messages to change an individual's text or background color. You can either change all the text to a specific color of not. The ListView control does not have a message ID for changing individual item colors.

I think CodeScript has a DLL that sub-classes the control to allow you to change individual item colors?

Basicly I was going to release this DSU a long time ago but CodeScript released his so I decided not to bother. I figured he would keep updating his DSU?

As for saving the items go... On exiting your program just walk thourgh each of the items and get their current checkbox states and save those with the table data or in a seperate location that you read back in when your program loads the next time.

Aslan,
I updated my example to persist the checkbox states so now when you close the app it will save the current checkbox states and restore them when you open the application. Also note this is just an example. Usually the user can and would check the box without selecting the item. However attreus wanted to be able to have the box checked when the user selected a row in the table. This seems to make clicking and checking kind of strange in the example. I did not code it such that when the user just clicked the check box that it would move the selection to that row. This could easily be done in the timer loop that is checking the checkbox state.

@dragonsphere

you are right, it's a strange behaviour. i now use dblclick to check.

i'd like to store checkstates in the table itself. i tried this but it doesn't work:

Code:

:table1Click
  goto evloop
:table1dblClick
  %x = @table(get,checkbox,Table1,@index(Table1))
  if @not(%x)
    table set,CheckBox,TABLE1,@index(Table1),1
    %i = @item(table1)@tab()active
    table update,item,table1,%i
   else
    table set,CheckBox,TABLE1,@index(Table1),0
    %i = @item(table1)
    table update,item,table1,@item(table1)
   end
  %E = @event()
  goto evloop


what is wrong with my update-call?

attreus,
Here is 1 way you could save the checkbox state with the Table's data. It uses the same example as before just slightly modified so the checkbox's state is saved.

Code:

hey, this is cool.

is there a way to update the table-record if only the checkbox is clicked?
thats why i thought about LVM_UPDATE instead of using list put.

I imagine that this would be the case for any kind of an 'owner drawn' process.

Yes this is very true. If the control does not directly support the operation your trying to perform you would have to make it 'owner drawn' by first sub-classing the control and then extending it with new functionality. I believe this is the method that CodeScript took with his VDSGUI.DLL.

BTW if you don't mind please just send a PM if you need someone to look at a different website. Especially when it comes to my forum since my forum is only for registered users of my software it would not be fair to others on this message board. Wink
