The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Creating a custom drawn or owner drawn listview in VB.Net

Asked by EvilMungo in .NET

Tags: listview

I need to create a listview that contains a question in the first column, and an answer selection in the second column. The answer column values need to be drawn as buttons so that a user can answer by clicking the appropriate button. I just can't work out how to make the listview owner drawn, and allow my application to draw to the items.

I tried getting the listview to be custom drawn using this code... (Form designer generated code removed)

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

Public Class Form1
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

    Private Delegate Function DrawProc(ByVal lParam As Long) As Long

    Public Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
    Public Const DWL_MSGRESULT = 0
    Public Const DWL_DLGPROC = 4
    Private Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, ByVal nIndex As Long, ByVal dwNewLong As DrawProc) As Long

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        ListView1.Items.Add("Test")
        ListView1.Items.Add("Test 2")
        ListView1.Items.Add("Test 3")
        ListView1.Items.Add("Test 4")

    End Sub

    Private Function CustomDrawProc(ByVal lparam As Long) As Long
        ' Can't seem to get any messages coming in here
    End Function

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        SetWindowLong(ListView1.Handle, DWL_MSGRESULT, AddressOf CustomDrawProc)
    End Sub
End Class

But no messages ever seem to be passed to the CustomDrawProc.

I've found plenty of examples of this in VC++ 6, but none in .Net. I am quite new to programming in .Net and any help and guidance on this would be much appreciated.
