hi all,
i need to develop a control to show contact details for companies, in a
similar fashion to the way outlook shows contacts.
at the moment, i'm cheating using HTML fed from a web server, however i need
to now make it use it's own control.
what's the best way of doing this?

Sam,
As you indicated in the subject of your post, you would have to create
an owner drawn control. There might be some controls out there that mimic
what you want (listview, datagrid, etc, etc), but in the end, you probably
will have to customize your own, or create one from scratch.
However, there are a number of third parties out there that thrive on
creating controls that mimic Outlook's style. You might want to look into
some of those.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I just discovered C# w .NET does not support owner draw for TreeViews
and ListViews (.NET 1.1). Is there a good workaround? A Google search
yielded nothing - or at least nothing easy.
Will a future version contain this capability?
Thanks,
Gary

I now know how to gather the file type icons and I'm able to use them in a
listview. But a listbox does not have a .smallimagelist or .largeimagelist
member, so I don't know how to translate that so that I have the icon + the
string in a listbox. Is this possible, and if so, can you give me some idea
how to go about it.
Thanks for any help.

hi,Does anyone know how to get text longer than a column in a listview
in c#?
This is easy in c++.you only have to check the LVS_OWNERDRAWFIXED
style.
then you only have to call the CListCtrl method
MyListCtrl.SetItemData(rownumber,0).
where rownumber is the item you want the text to spread over all other
columns.

I implemented owner drawing on the main and context menus of my main form.
It works fine.
There is also a notify icon control that has a context menu. When the icon
is in the status bar, it works perfectly fine when it is double-clicked.
However, when I try to initialize the notify icon's context menu as an
owner-drawn menu, all the text in that menu disappears.
Is owner drawing a notify icon's context menu possible? I saw someone...

I am owner-drawing a listbox, in an attempt to create a nice list with some
custom "fields" and text layout.
Essentially it works, but I must be missing something big, conceptually,
because I get all kinds of screen artifacts and weirdness.
My general goal is: list item with a few areas for text, every other item
shaded a light color for readability, font color changes with selection. The
listbox is populated with custom structurs...

Ok whats going on here... got a couple problems... this is relevant now to
this group since .NET 2.0 is finally RTM
1) draws really slow when making it a large form (resizing speed is jerky)
to a res from 100x100 to 1280x1024 once it gets above 500x500 it starts
jerking you can see the screen refreshing as it paints

Hi All,
I'm working on an owner-drawn combo box which will display multiple
columns in the list, either from a table in an associated DataSourse or
from delimited strings in the Items collection. It's all going quite
well, and was actually easier to achieve than I had expected.
But I am seeing one peculiar anomaly when I make a selection from the
list. Eveything works perfectly if the list is populated from a
DataSource. But if the...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
