Multi-line column headings in GUICtrlCreateListView?

[deparys]

In order to conserve column width, is it possible to have ListView column headings split over two or more lines?

I have tried embedding @CRLF macros (e.g. GUICtrlCreateListView("Column 1 " & @CRLF & "heading | Column 2 " & @CRLF & "heading" ...) but this displays the headings on one line interspersed with small rectangular characters.

Any suggestions?

conserve column width

Example:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ListViewConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

Global Const $HDN_FIRST = -300
Global Const $HDN_ITEMCHANGINGA = $HDN_FIRST - 0
Global Const $HDN_ITEMCHANGINGW = $HDN_FIRST - 20
Global Const $HDN_BEGINTRACKA = $HDN_FIRST - 6
Global Const $HDN_BEGINTRACKW = $HDN_FIRST - 26

$GUI = GUICreate("Static Columns Demo!", 420, 240)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "Quit")

$ListView = GUICtrlCreateListView("Column1|Column2", 20, 20, 380, 200, $LVS_NOSORTHEADER)
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NOTIFY, "WM_NOTIFY_EVENTS")

GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("Item 1|SubItem 1", $ListView)
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("Item 2|SubItem 2", $ListView)

GUICtrlSendMsg($ListView, $LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 0, 80)
GUICtrlSendMsg($ListView, $LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 1, 80)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func Quit()
    Exit
EndFunc

Func WM_NOTIFY_EVENTS($hWndGUI, $MsgID, $wParam, $lParam)
    Local $TagNMHDR = DllStructCreate("int;int;int", $lParam)
    If @error Then Return
    
    Local $iEvent = DllStructGetData($TagNMHDR, 3)
    If $iEvent = $HDN_BEGINTRACKA Or $iEvent = $HDN_BEGINTRACKW Or _
        $iEvent = $HDN_ITEMCHANGINGA Or $iEvent = $HDN_ITEMCHANGINGW Then Return 1
    
    Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG
EndFunc

Thanks for the reply rasim.

I probably did not explain my question very well, but as a picture is probably worth a thousand words, here is an example (created with my graphics editor) of what I am trying to achieve:

i.e. I would like the words in each column heading to appear on two or more lines withing the grey column heading.

deparys, did you get a solution to your question? I want to do the same thing!

Thanks!

kjuenke,

Did you notice that the first post in this thread dates from over 7 years ago and that the OP has not been online since then?

Please do not necro-post like this again - just open a new thread and link to the old one if it is absolutely necessary for understanding the problem. We ask you to do this for two main reasons:

• The language advances and the functionality might well be included in core or UDF code by now
• The changes in language syntax mean that it is likely that code from more than a couple of years ago may well not run under the current release interpreter without significant modification.
