EDIT: Along the following posts you will encounter a series of examples, tricks and workarounds, showing you how to accomplish:
- custom fonts, font colors and row colors (selected/unselected)
- icons / checkboxes on items and subitems
- multiline rows in listviews
- themed listviews

Performance-wise, rover's example in post #17 is very optimized.
Working examples of Edit in Place are postponed for now.
________________________

Hi guys,

I'm trying to find some example code of a List with several sub-items (columns), with the possibility of including icons (preferably embedded in the compiled executable) and more than one checkbox per row.

A while back (maybe a year or so), I came across an example of a ListView that had all this customization: icons / colored boxes, checkboxes and edit in place.

But I'm not entirely sure if it had all three combined.
I mean, I'm not even sure if the control was actually a ListView, but it surely resembled one.

Maybe I'm just going insane and I THINK I saw it, because I've been searching for 2 hours and haven't found it yet.

Anyway, if this description reminds you of a post with such code, I would deeply appreciate any links you feel like sharing.

If not, well, I'll just have to pursue another route.


Thanks in advance for your time.

I guess this post is a good start. Using UEZ's program you can embed more custom icons into the script.

[footswitch]

Yup. A good start indeed. Still don't understand even half of it
The embedding technique is pretty awesome and also an eye opener for me. Up until now I was using exclusively icons.

Many thanks. I guess I'll be spending my free time around these UDFs

Just a little question, if you don't mind. Can you tell why the checkboxes shift one or two pixels down when the row is selected? This happens regardless of their state (checked or unchecked).
(Windows XP Pro 32-bit, don't know if the behavior persists on other OS)


Thanks again.

[KaFu]

You're right, I've noticed the one pixel gap before and forgot about it. It seems there's a difference in positioning between XP and Vista+. Not sure what the reason is and the proper handling would be, but these this work-around lines seem to do the job:

Local $iAdjustV = 0
If $__WINVER > 0x0600 Then $iAdjustV = 1 ; $__WINVER defined in WinAPIEx, $__WINVER > 0x0600 means Vista+

Thanks, your fix works nicely.
I ended up setting that as a Global variable on the beginning of the script, since the calculation only needs to occur once.

Right now I'm trying to get this to work together with the Extended Style $LVS_OWNERDRAWFIXED.
It seems like one overrides the other, but I'm still unsure.
A lot of this code is beyond my knowledge so I'm just trying to figure out things as I go.

[Zedna]

For embedding/using icons in compiled EXE script use

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Icon_Add=C:Program FilesAutoIt3Iconsau3.ico
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Icon_Add=C:Program FilesAutoIt3Iconssecond_ico.ico

and for loading

_WinAPI_GetModuleHandle("")
_WinAPI_LoadImage() + IMAGE_ICON type as parameter or LoadIcon API function
or you can use GUICtrlSetImage() + @ScriptFullPath

You can look at my Resource to some similar using of resources. Icons are so simple that my Resources UDF is not needed.

@Zedna,
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Icon_Add
that's what I've been doing up until now. At this point we can agree that there are several ways to skin this cat.

I really appreciate your help guys, but it seems that it doesn't do what I imagined it would.
I just can't get it to play along with ownerdraw.

I'll post an example script as soon as I can, to demonstrate what I'm talking about.
It's just taking a bit longer than I expected because I'm still cleaning up the code. (plus I need to get all the necessary functions in a single file)

Thanks again.

; Function Name:        Load_BMP_From_Mem
; Description:      Loads an image which is saved as a binary string and converts it to a bitmap or hbitmap
;
; Parameters:         $bImage:    the binary string which contains any valid image which is supported by GDI+
; Optional:       $hHBITMAP:  if false a bitmap will be created, if true a hbitmap will be created
;
; Remark:             hbitmap format is used generally for GUI internal images, $bitmap is more a GDI+ image format
;                     Don't forget _GDIPlus_Startup() and _GDIPlus_Shutdown()
;
; Requirement(s):     GDIPlus.au3, Memory.au3 and _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateDIBFromBitmap() from WinAPIEx.au3
; Return Value(s):    Success: handle to bitmap (GDI+ bitmap format) or hbitmap (WinAPI bitmap format),
;                     Error: 0
; Error codes:      1: $bImage is not a binary string
;                     2: unable to create stream on HGlobal
;                     3: unable to create bitmap from stream
;
; Author(s):            UEZ
; Additional Code:    thanks to progandy for the MemGlobalAlloc and tVARIANT lines and
;                     Yashied for _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateDIBFromBitmap() from WinAPIEx.au3

OOOOhhhhh...


Thanks a bunch.
I think I'm starting to get it now

[KaFu]

You're welcome, new terrain for me too and I've learned something along the road !

[footswitch]

Glad to know! So... do you feel like extending its functionality even more?
Here are a couple of things I wasn't expecting.
----------
A )
I'm using $WM_MEASUREITEM to set the row height.
But _GUICtrlListView_SetImageList() somehow breaks this.

If I don't use _GUICtrlListView_SetImageList() then the rows have the desired height, and the images show up fine, but the ones in the first column need to be forcibly drawn when clicked. The first column behaves differently than the other subitems in many functions, so I decided to "hide" it (size=0), thus solving all my problems with it.

So, is it wrong not to use _GUICtrlListView_SetImageList()?

----------
B )
In the example below I'm showing two ways of freezing the script when using $LVS_EX_SUBITEMIMAGES.

- One of them is a consequence of using _GUICtrlListView_AddArray() to populate. It must be a function that doesn't perform the same steps as _GUICtrlListView_Add[Sub]Item(). Also it won't draw icons unless you click the respective subitem.
- The other is when you don't populate the rows entirely, that is, if you skip a subitem.

I'm quite stuck with this at this point.

; Function Name:        Load_BMP_From_Mem
; Description:    Loads an image which is saved as a binary string and converts it to a bitmap or hbitmap
;
; Parameters:        $bImage:    the binary string which contains any valid image which is supported by GDI+
; Optional:    $hHBITMAP:  if false a bitmap will be created, if true a hbitmap will be created
;
; Remark:            hbitmap format is used generally for GUI internal images, $bitmap is more a GDI+ image format
;                    Don't forget _GDIPlus_Startup() and _GDIPlus_Shutdown()
;
; Requirement(s):    GDIPlus.au3, Memory.au3 and _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateDIBFromBitmap() from WinAPIEx.au3
; Return Value(s):    Success: handle to bitmap (GDI+ bitmap format) or hbitmap (WinAPI bitmap format),
;                    Error: 0
; Error codes:    1: $bImage is not a binary string
;                    2: unable to create stream on HGlobal
;                    3: unable to create bitmap from stream
;
; Author(s):            UEZ
; Additional Code:    thanks to progandy for the MemGlobalAlloc and tVARIANT lines and
;                    Yashied for _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateDIBFromBitmap() from WinAPIEx.au3

Instead of creating a new topic I chose to post here. This way we may be able to gather the necessary code to demonstrate all the personalizations in a single ListView.

Edit in Place isn't for now one of the things I need or have in mind for my current project.
One awesome example:
http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/95854-grid-input/page__p__689068#entry689068

And this example that I remember seeing working in the past, but now the code is outdated; haven't looked at it in a while:
http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/44132-edit-in-place-listview-multi-column/


As for the multiline, I found a trick:
Display multiline content with fly-over tooltips:
http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/96826-listview-displaying-multiline-text-cells/page__view__findpost__p__697854

It does what it says, but it's not very helpful (visually) and it's a bit annoying.
I have an idea, though. I just need a little help:

; Function Name:        Load_BMP_From_Mem
; Description:    Loads an image which is saved as a binary string and converts it to a bitmap or hbitmap
;
; Parameters:        $bImage:    the binary string which contains any valid image which is supported by GDI+
; Optional:    $hHBITMAP:  if false a bitmap will be created, if true a hbitmap will be created
;
; Remark:            hbitmap format is used generally for GUI internal images, $bitmap is more a GDI+ image format
;                    Don't forget _GDIPlus_Startup() and _GDIPlus_Shutdown()
;
; Requirement(s):    GDIPlus.au3, Memory.au3 and _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateDIBFromBitmap() from WinAPIEx.au3
; Return Value(s):    Success: handle to bitmap (GDI+ bitmap format) or hbitmap (WinAPI bitmap format),
;                    Error: 0
; Error codes:    1: $bImage is not a binary string
;                    2: unable to create stream on HGlobal
;                    3: unable to create bitmap from stream
;
; Author(s):            UEZ
; Additional Code:    thanks to progandy for the MemGlobalAlloc and tVARIANT lines and

For me this is awesome already.
But how would I draw different font sizes, or even different fonts, within the same subitem? In essential trying to resemble the Outlook lists (From, Subject, Body, all into one "cell").

And then there's the vertical alignment. $DT_VCENTER only seems to work with single line.

[rover]

It's ownerdrawing, and you have the items DC, so the world's your oyster.

A rough outline of how to set multiline text fonts/colour.

You could probably compose an items image in an off-screen DC, then bitblit to the item DC

Includes a gratuitous example of using a theme part for item selection.

Edit: corrected ODS_SELECTED multiple item selection

; Function Name:        Load_BMP_From_Mem
; Description:  Loads an image which is saved as a binary string and converts it to a bitmap or hbitmap
;
; Parameters:       $bImage:    the binary string which contains any valid image which is supported by GDI+
; Optional: $hHBITMAP:  if false a bitmap will be created, if true a hbitmap will be created
;
; Remark:           hbitmap format is used generally for GUI internal images, $bitmap is more a GDI+ image format
;                   Don't forget _GDIPlus_Startup() and _GDIPlus_Shutdown()
;
; Requirement(s):   GDIPlus.au3, Memory.au3 and _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateDIBFromBitmap() from WinAPIEx.au3
; Return Value(s):  Success: handle to bitmap (GDI+ bitmap format) or hbitmap (WinAPI bitmap format),
;                   Error: 0
; Error codes:  1: $bImage is not a binary string
;                   2: unable to create stream on HGlobal
;                   3: unable to create bitmap from stream
;
; Author(s):            UEZ
; Additional Code:  thanks to progandy for the MemGlobalAlloc and tVARIANT lines and
;                   Yashied for _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateDIBFromBitmap() from WinAPIEx.au3

@rover
What kind of sourcery is this??!?



Once again, thank you thank you thank you.

One more thing

Your timing is good...

This example is more relevant to your questions regarding the Outlook multiline listview.

To get two or more fonts per line (in this case normal and bold) DrawText is called twice per line.
Draw the left most text, set the left rect element to the width of the leftmost text plus a few added pixels to indent, then draw the right most text.

Text metrics measuring code is needed to replace the hard coded values used for setting left rect and top rect GetStringWidth code added for left rect

The number of drawtext calls can be cut down by using multiline text with linefeeds,
but then you can't set indentation and font colour/bold per line

The example is optimized for speed with dll pseudo handles for dllcalls, stripped down/optimized listview functions and global resources (fonts/pens/brush)
for re-use in the WM_DRAWITEM message handler

Edit: added _GUICtrlListView_GetStringWidth
Edit: corrected ODS_SELECTED multiple item selection, added optional themed/unthemed custom coloured select bar demonstration (try the listview states in Vista/Win7),
closed theme handle, added themes parts and states usage example, added optional remove line separators when item selection themed, clarified a few things

Edit: Added combo for Button or *Listview theme parts, Added resize of theme rect for Listview parts
*Listview group header theme has a better gradient than button in Vista+
