Can't disable/hide listview checkboxes!

[PryGuy]

Good day everybody!

I got a problem here: I create a listview

$listview = GUICtrlCreateListView(" ", 20, 70, 300, 200, $LVS_NOCOLUMNHEADER + $LVS_SINGLESEL, $LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES+$LVS_EX_FLATSB)

then I add a set of listview items with checkboxes:

GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($ProgName[$i], $listview)

It is said in the manual that the listview checkboxes act as normal ones but i can't hide or disable them doing this

GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_HIDE)

or this

GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DISABLE)

Is it possible to do it? THanks in advance! Edited June 8, 2007 by PryGuy

Hi,

try

GUICtrlSendMsg($listview, $LVM_SETEXTENDEDLISTVIEWSTYLE, not $LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES, not $LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES)

?

Best, randall

It does not hide or gray out the checkboxes but changes all checkboxes to normal text. And I do not need this! Isn't it possible just to gray out the listview checkboes as we do with the ordinary ones?

So what do you really want!?

but i can't hide or disable them

Hard to know; if you want to clear them "unticked" , that's easy.

If you want tristate including disabled "grey" boxes, that's another thing; I think it has been done (certainly with direct commands to Excel checkboxes), but not sure. -maybe search "tristate" checkboxes.
