Question

VB6 listview dynamic filling columnheader formating and column sizing

Asked by: DennisPost

Hi,

I am trying to dynamically fill a listview in visual basic 6, and succeded.
There are 3 possible queries at the moment.
The idea is to set the listview column headers with the ado.rs.name then format the data depending on the column name and set the column widths according to datatypes.

So far the column headers and the values are correct, but i keeps formating the last columns incorrectly.

Here's my code. (The code I am having trouble with is marked by *****)

I believe you misunderstood the SubItems collection. It doesn't return a collection of items, but a collection of values, which are not binded to the listview.

Try this instead:
Me.lvwDetails.ListItems(k).ListSubItems(j).Text = Format(rsFictStock.Fields(j).Value, "DD-MM-YY")

Hi Atr3ides,
Thanks for replying.

When I try your code I get error message: "Index out of bounds ListSubItems 35600".

Please note that my code does return the right values to the right columns.
Only the formating is not right.
I.e. Column "Kgs" is not formated. "Cbm" is only formated with 2 decimal places and "Plts" is formated with 3 decimal places.
All the rest, including the formating of the "Date" columns are working fine.

I think the SubItems and the rs position are getting out of sync.......(????)

 

by: DennisPostPosted on 2007-06-19 at 05:33:13ID: 19315187

I just got it!

If Me.lvwDetails.ColumnHeaders(j) = "Date" Then
should be
If Me.lvwDetails.ColumnHeaders(j + 1) = "Date" Then

Because there is 1 more column than there are SubItems.
Column = ItemList + SubItem

Right :)
