Identifying specific ListView columns on double click / mouseover

[schliden]

I have a ListView control with 5 columns:

1. A Checkbox (to enable/disable selection)

2. A Count

3. A Source

4. A Target

5. A Status

I have used the following code:

CODE

; global constant to support ListView events

Global Const $WM_NOTIFY = 0x004E

;ListView Events

Global Const $NM_FIRST = 0 - 0

Global Const $NM_LAST = 0 - 99

Global Const $NM_OUTOFMEMORY = $NM_FIRST - 1

Global Const $NM_CLICK = $NM_FIRST - 2

Global Const $NM_DBLCLK = $NM_FIRST - 3

Global Const $NM_RETURN = $NM_FIRST - 4

Global Const $NM_RCLICK = $NM_FIRST - 5

Global Const $NM_RDBLCLK = $NM_FIRST - 6

Global Const $NM_SETFOCUS = $NM_FIRST - 7

Global Const $NM_KILLFOCUS = $NM_FIRST - 8

Global Const $NM_CUSTOMDRAW = $NM_FIRST - 12

Global Const $NM_HOVER = $NM_FIRST - 13

Global Const $NM_NCHITTEST = $NM_FIRST - 14

Global Const $NM_KEYDOWN = $NM_FIRST - 15

Global Const $NM_RELEASEDCAPTURE = $NM_FIRST - 16

Global Const $NM_SETCURSOR = $NM_FIRST - 17

Global Const $NM_CHAR = $NM_FIRST - 18

Global Const $NM_TOOLTIPSCREATED = $NM_FIRST - 19

;Register user defined function "exEvents" for known Windows Messages $WM_NOTIFY (use to trap double click in ListView)

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NOTIFY, "exEvents")

....

;------------------------------------------------------------------------

; Description: $WM_NOTIFY event handler

;------------------------------------------------------------------------

Func exEvents($hWndGUI, $MsgID, $WParam, $LParam)

Switch $WParam

Case $ListView1

$tagNMHDR = DllStructCreate ( "int;int;int",$LParam) ;NMHDR (hwndFrom, idFrom, code)

$code = DllStructGetData ( $tagNMHDR, 3)

Switch $code

Case $NM_DBLCLK

_EditListItem($ListView1,$cListColTarget)

Case $NM_HOVER

_HoverListItem($ListView1,$cListColSource)

Endswitch

Endswitch

endfunc

to allow doubleclick handling.

(I don't know if this is the correct way, but it seems to work)

I am, however, unable to detect the specific column that is double-clicked.

Is it possible to detect which column is double-clicked ?

________________________

Also, I don't seem to be able to get Case $NM_HOVER to work ?

What I would like to do is display a tooltip that expands the full text of the item in the listbox onmouseover.

TIA

Thanks (ga)ry ?

Is it possible to pickup the mouseover event ?

TIA

uncomment this:

...and create this ListView_MouseOver () function so that something actually happens.

I found that I also needed to do this:

GUICtrlSendMsg($ListView1, $LVM_SETEXTENDEDLISTVIEWSTYLE, $LVS_EX_TRACKSELECT, $LVS_EX_TRACKSELECT)

Although the tooltip now works, it seems to prevent the $NM_DBLCLK from working.

Ahhh, fixed the blocking with:

; set the time required before a hover event fires

_GUICtrlListViewSetHoverTime($ListView1,2000)
