Reportview line color

[erezpaz]

Hi

Is there a whey to color only one line in reportview dialog?
I want to mark to the user lines that he need to pay attention to.

Thanks

Not aware of any way that wouldn't involve  Win32 API calls.  Setting the selection is the usual way of drawing a user's attention and that can be done with standard WIL dialog functions.

Would CUSTOMDRAW work within an Extender to color a ListView?  Here is some code that does the job but is part of a Dialog CallBack.    I've tried to make this work with my CommCtrl Extender but no luck so far.   I've chopped out what seems important but I'm missing something.  I think my problem is related to all the notifications that need to take place.   If someone is willing to take a look I can post what I have attempted.  At the very least it should prove amusing.   No need to post it if all I will hear is crickets chirping though.

Hi

Is there a whey to color only one line in reportview dialog?
I want to mark to the user lines that he need to pay attention to.

Thanks

Sounds more like a job for Excel/Open Office conditional formatting - and if you have neither there is always OWC (Office Web Components - still free).

[....IFICantBYTE]

I have wanted to be able to control the color of individual listview (reportview) items for years (and other similar control / GUI things)

PLEASE Tony:
I wish (and have asked for it before) that the WinBatch developers made it possible for us to handle any Win32 API Notification Messages (of our choosing) from Dialog controls directly in WinBatch code (and any control or application window we can get a handle/hook on for that matter), just like they do for the Reportview's Column Header Click event or in a similar way to what the following AutoIt commands do:

http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/GUIRegisterMsg.htm



Otherwise, Jim,
yes, your extender should work if you get the CUSTOM DRAW bit working...
Here are some links that might help you:

Alternatively, Erepaz (the original poster)
you could also look into using some other method for "highlighting" a particular item using one or two of my previously posted Listview UDF DllCalls that you can find in the Tech Database...
something like changing the Item's state to cut, drophilited, focused etc and if you want it even more obvious, you can put that code in a timer event to toggle on/off these states, then it will essentially "flash" the targeted item(s) states.
You could perhaps also use simple item indentation or even icons and subitem icons with a bit more coding and playing around, and these can look very effective.

I second that...and in line with that request having the rest of the dialog controls made available would be VERY VERY helpful...maybe If's request would accomplish this feat?  Even if you don't have time to flesh them out.  I don't mind putting the time in to making them work through my CommControl extender.  Which I already have for most of them but am very limited since I lose the event hook and control inherent in having them in the main CallBack.  If you all don't have time to do that much send me the code and I'll add it in for you  :)

Thanks for the links.  Have seen some of that but not others and some of those I think will be VERY helpful.
