OnDrawColumnHeader and LIstView

[--== Alain ==--]

Hi,

I have some little issue when i want to redraw the columnHeader of my
ListView.
Basically i display a little arrow to show the sortOrder of each column.
For sure only the clicked column is sorted.

here is my code located in OnDrawColumnHeader overriden method:
....
if(e->ColumnIndex == this->m_LastClickedColumn)
{
if (this->Sorting == SortOrder::Ascending)
{
e->Graphics->DrawString("t", ArrowFont,
System::Drawing::SystemBrushes::ControlDarkDark, arrowRect, strForm);
}
else if (this->Sorting == SortOrder::Descending)
{
e->Graphics->DrawString("u", ArrowFont,
System::Drawing::SystemBrushes::ControlDarkDark, arrowRect, strForm);
}
}
else
{
e->Graphics->DrawString(" ", ArrowFont,
System::Drawing::SystemBrushes::ControlDarkDark, arrowRect, strForm);
}
....

unfortunately, the arrow is drawn correctly in the clicked column, but
if arrow was drawn in some other column, it does not disappear after 1
click...

for example :

i click column header 2 (arrow is on column header 2)
i click column header 1 (arrow is on column header 1 and still drawn on
column header 2)
i click again on column header 1 (arrow only appear on column header 1
and nowhere else)...

where could be the problem ?
I have the feeling that component does not redraw all column
headers...but only the ones which are close to the one i clicked..

Alain,

Is there any reason other than the image that you're drawing things
this way?

The header control supports an image facility (HDF_IMAGE) that will
let you achieve the normal sorted column indicator fairly easily
(without trying to draw it yourself anyway).

i also place the text of header with Graphics method also.. to adjust it
on right, left or center..

You can position the image with HDF_BITMAP_ON_RIGHT (or not).

And there are specific HDF_SORTDOWN & HDF_SORTUP on the XP (v6)
controls.

Anyhow, if you know that won't do what you need, it was just a
suggestion to side-step the problems you're having.
