Well,
I've often tried to do the owner draw bit but I never seem to get it right,
so I have come to the classroom to learn.
What I want is simple, or at least simple enough, since I like the vsReport
stile of the TListView, however I would like some particular controls over
the individual "cells".
I know they aren't really cells, but visually that's what they look like.
Anyway, given TListView:
Field Value //Column Heads
Start X,Y
Finish X,Y
Dif X,Y
You may notice (or not given the formatting of the news post) that "Dif" is
indented. Now I could hack it and use a couple of spaces, but Instead I
would like to add individual Item/SubItem processessing that will add these
two main things to each "Item" (and possibly SubItem in the future but that
isn't the issue now):
Alignment - Left, Center, Right
FontStyle - Bold, Italic, Underline
Now, I thought I would have to do this via the OwnerDraw so I set up the
event, and when I got the Rect I did a simple:
begin
List:=(Sender as TListView);
List.Canvas.TextOut(Rect.Left, Rect.Top, Item.Caption);
end;
Nothing happened. No text was displayed, nothing.
So I don't know what I'm doing wrong here. Now there is a possibility I
could skip this and use the AdvancedCustomDraw or CustomDraw methods, but
I'm not sure how I would be able to affect an individual Cell without
affecting the entire column/row.
