| This method is intended for Visual Basic 5 or Visual Basic
6 where the Common Control library used is the MSComCtl 5 version (comctl32.ocx). Because the VB6-specific mscomctl.ocx (Common Controls 6)
is a complete implementation of comctl32.dll and not reliant on the version of comctl32.dll installed, this routine may not work when applied
to a listview created from the VB6-specific mscomctl.ocx.
Enhanced Comctl32 functionality is only available to users with
comctl32.dll version 4.70 or greater installed. This dll is typically installed with IE3.x or greater. |

 In
perhaps the strangest (and most useless) of extended example, this code adds to each subitem the same icon displayed as the main item icon. I
have yet to determine how (or if) a subitem-specific icon can be shown instead of duplicating the main item icon, or frankly, why one would
ever want this clutter.
This example does not contain all code required to construct
the illustration shown. The routine provided here is designed to be applied to an existing project utilizing a ListView control with
subitems. |

| Form
Code |
|
| Add a check button to the project (Check1) with the caption
"SubItem Images". Set its initial value to 0. Add the following code to the check button sub: |
|
Option Explicit
Private Sub Check1_Click()
Dim state As Long
'state will be true when the checkbox
'style is 1 (checked) or False when
'unchecked
state = Check1.Value = 1
'set the new listview style
Call SendMessage(ListView1.hwnd, _
LVM_SETEXTENDEDLISTVIEWSTYLE, _
LVS_EX_SUBITEMIMAGES, ByVal state)
ListView1.Refresh
End Sub
|
|
| Comments |
| The icons for subitems are only displayed and removed on a
refresh of the ListView after changing the extended bit. |
