Listview double click header

[MyEarth]

Hello,

There is an example in the Snippet can avoid sizing of a column of a listview. Work but doesn't avoid resize if used double click on the divider. Searching on the web i have found only solution like subclassing, too complex i want to avoid that. There is also something like this post:

Quote

hate to bump such an old thread, but either something was fixed over the years, or the previous poster was mistaken, but this additional WM_ block will prevent double-click resizing of columns...

at least on XP
not sure of the constants (if there's a A/W versions...) but this is something i wanted so i hope someone else does...

WM_NOTIFY(wParam, lParam, msg, hwnd)
{
   Critical
   Static HDN_BEGINTRACKA = -306, HDN_BEGINTRACKW = -326, HDN_DIVIDERDBLCLICK = -320
   Code := -(~NumGet(lParam+0, 8))-1
   Return, Code = HDN_DIVIDERDBLCLICK || Code = HDN_BEGINTRACKA || Code = HDN_BEGINTRACKW ? True : ""
}

I have try to implement that code ( original code work ) but not work in autoit, at least like i have implemented

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiListView.au3>
#include <HeaderConstants.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("ListView Fix Column Width", 400, 300)
$hListView = GUICtrlCreateListView("Column 0|Column 1|Column 2|Column 3", 2, 2, 394, 268)
GUISetState()

; Prevent resizing of a specific column (0-based)
Global $iFix_Col = 1

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NOTIFY, "_WM_NOTIFY")

; Loop until user exits
Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Func _WM_NOTIFY($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)
    ; Get details of message
    Local $tNMHEADER = DllStructCreate($tagNMHEADER, $lParam)
    ; Look for header resize code
    $iCode = DllStructGetData($tNMHEADER, "Code")
    Switch $iCode
        Case $HDN_BEGINTRACK, $HDN_BEGINTRACKW, $HDN_DIVIDERDBLCLICK
            ; Now get column being resized
            Local $iCol = DllStructGetData($tNMHEADER, "Item")
            If $iCol = $iFix_Col Then
                ; Prevent resizing
                Return True
            Else
                ; Allow resizing
                Return False
            EndIf
    EndSwitch

EndFunc

Suggestion how to accomplish this or alternative solution to subclassing?

UPDATE: In this way work, you cant resize $iFix_Col with double click

Func _WM_NOTIFY($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)
    ; Get details of message
    Local $tNMHEADER = DllStructCreate($tagNMHEADER, $lParam)
    ; Look for header resize code
    $iCode = DllStructGetData($tNMHEADER, "Code")
    Switch $lParam
        Case 0x008CDD80 ; WHAT IS THIS?
            ; Now get column being resized
            Local $iCol = DllStructGetData($tNMHEADER, "Item")
            If $iCol = $iFix_Col Then
                ; Prevent resizing
                Return True
            Else
                ; Allow resizing
                Return False
            EndIf
    EndSwitch
    Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG
EndFunc

How i can get that 0x008CDD80 in a normal way? I have get it with ConsoleWrite and that binary is for double click on this system.

Work, without doubt. But you have replaced HDN_DIVIDERDBLCLICK with -320 but our HDN_DIVIDERDBLCLICK is -305 ( $HDN_FIRST - 5 )

Why $HDN_BEGINTRACK, $HDN_BEGINTRACKW are the same value instead HDN_DIVIDERDBLCLICK not? Maybe isn't HDN_DIVIDERDBLCLICK but another variable? If yes what? I'll ask you because want to avoid any problems on other system when i'll try and i'm also curious.

UPDATE: Yes is a totally different variable:

Case $HDN_BEGINTRACK, $HDN_BEGINTRACKW, $HDN_ITEMCHANGING, $HDN_ITEMCHANGINGW

Thanks for point me in the right direction and also to that authotkeyguy.

No wait is a problem to use $HDN_ITEMCHANGING, stop to update the column...

HDN_DIVIDERDBLCLICK Notifies a header control's   parent window that the user "double-clicked"  You can't prevent resize. 

Instead use HDN_ITEMCHANGING ( -320 ) that allow prevent the changes.

Return value

Returns FALSE to allow the changes, or TRUE to prevent them.

Yes i was right:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiListView.au3>
#include <HeaderConstants.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("ListView Fix Column Width", 400, 300)
$hListView = GUICtrlCreateListView("Column 0|Column 1|Column 2|Column 3", 2, 2, 394, 268)
GUISetState()

; Prevent resizing of a specific column (0-based)
Global $iFix_Col = 1

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NOTIFY, "_WM_NOTIFY")

_GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($hListView, 1, 10) ; this not work if $HDN_ITEMCHANGING, $HDN_ITEMCHANGINGW is enabled

; Loop until user exits
Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Func _WM_NOTIFY($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)
    ; Get details of message
    Local $tNMHEADER = DllStructCreate($tagNMHEADER, $lParam)
    ; Look for header resize code
    $iCode = DllStructGetData($tNMHEADER, "Code")
    Switch $iCode
        Case $HDN_BEGINTRACK, $HDN_BEGINTRACKW;, $HDN_ITEMCHANGING, $HDN_ITEMCHANGINGW
            ; Now get column being resized
            Local $iCol = DllStructGetData($tNMHEADER, "Item")
            If $iCol = $iFix_Col Then
                ; Prevent resizing
                Return True
            Else
                ; Allow resizing
                Return False
            EndIf
    EndSwitch

EndFunc

I need some workaroud or another way.

Probably you can do something like this.

 

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiListView.au3>
#include <HeaderConstants.au3>

Global $g__Prevent = True ;internal use Prevent or no Prevent with _GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidthEx


$hGUI = GUICreate("ListView Fix Column Width", 400, 300)
$hListView = GUICtrlCreateListView("Column 0|Column 1|Column 2|Column 3", 2, 2, 394, 268)
GUISetState()

; Prevent resizing of a specific column (0-based)
Global $iFix_Col = 1

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NOTIFY, "_WM_NOTIFY")

_GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidthEx($hListView, 1, 10) ;now work
Sleep(1000)
_GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidthEx($hListView, 1, 100) ;now work

; Loop until user exits
Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE


Func _WM_NOTIFY($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)
    ; Get details of message
    Local $tNMHEADER = DllStructCreate($tagNMHEADER, $lParam)
    ; Look for header resize code
    $iCode = DllStructGetData($tNMHEADER, "Code")
    Switch $iCode
        Case $HDN_BEGINTRACK, $HDN_BEGINTRACKW, $HDN_ITEMCHANGING, $HDN_ITEMCHANGINGW
            ; Now get column being resized
            Local $iCol = DllStructGetData($tNMHEADER, "Item")
            If $iCol = $iFix_Col And $g__Prevent Then
                ; Prevent resizing
                Return True
            Else
                ; Allow resizing
                Return False
            EndIf
    EndSwitch

EndFunc   ;==>_WM_NOTIFY


Func _GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidthEx($hWnd, $iCol, $iWidth)
    Local $iRet = 0
    $g__Prevent = False
    If IsHWnd($hWnd) Then
        $iRet = _SendMessage($hWnd, $LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, $iCol, $iWidth)
    Else
        $iRet = GUICtrlSendMsg($hWnd, $LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, $iCol, $iWidth)
    EndIf
    $g__Prevent = True
    Return $iRet
EndFunc   ;==>_GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidthEx

Rename variable

[Melba23]

MyEarth,

I would do it this way:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiListView.au3>
#include <HeaderConstants.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("ListView Fix Column Width", 500, 500)

$cLV = GUICtrlCreateListView("Column 0|Column 1|Column 2|Column 3", 10, 10, 420, 300)
For $i = 0 To 3
    _GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($cLV, $i, 100)
Next

GUISetState()

; Prevent resizing of a specific column (0-based)
Global $aFix_Col[][] = [[1, 100]]

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NOTIFY, "_WM_NOTIFY")

; Loop until user exits
Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Func _WM_NOTIFY($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)
    ; Get details of message
    Local $tNMHEADER = DllStructCreate($tagNMHEADER, $lParam)
    ; Look for header resize code
    $iCode = DllStructGetData($tNMHEADER, "Code")
    ; Get column
    Local $iCol = DllStructGetData($tNMHEADER, "Item")
    Switch $iCode
        Case $HDN_DIVIDERDBLCLICK, $HDN_DIVIDERDBLCLICKW ; Divider double click
            For $i = 0 To UBound($aFix_Col) - 1
                If $iCol = $aFix_Col[$i][0] Then
                    _GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($cLV, $iCol, $aFix_Col[$i][1])
                    ExitLoop
                EndIf
            Next
        Case $HDN_BEGINTRACK, $HDN_BEGINTRACKW ; Divider drag 
            For $i = 0 To UBound($aFix_Col) - 1
                If $iCol = $aFix_Col[$i][0] Then
                    Return True
                    ExitLoop
                EndIf
            Next
            Return False
    EndSwitch

EndFunc

You do need to know the fixed column width you require, but then is that not why you want it fixed?

Edit: And thanks for showing me that the header could be resized by a double-click on the divider - I have just been modifying my GUIListViewEx UDF to prevent this using the same trick as above.
