Display of rows in a listview common control (win32 )

To add to above comment:

The ListView_InsertItem would only insert a new row if the lvI.iItem is less than the number of rows currently contained by the list control.

So, the above notification is a one-time notification to initially filling the list. Or you have to clear the list before notification.

IMO, none of these is an action which a notification handler should perform ?

Yes the "Hello" is displayed in the first column (1st of five columns). Why is this displayed but not my dataToDisplay struct?
Fyi

typedef struct dataLV{
      WCHAR column1[120];
      WCHAR column2[120];
      WCHAR column3[120];
      WCHAR column4[120];
      WCHAR column5[120];
}dataLV;



dataLV dataToDisplay[NB_ROWS] = {{TEXT("pascal"), TEXT("pascal"), TEXT("pascal"), TEXT("pascal"), TEXT("pascal")},
{TEXT("Danny"), TEXT("Danny"), TEXT("Danny"), TEXT("Danny"), TEXT("Danny")},
{TEXT("Teddy"), TEXT("Teddy"), TEXT("Teddy"), TEXT("Teddy"), TEXT("Teddy")},
{TEXT("Julie"), TEXT("Julie"), TEXT("Julie"), TEXT("Julie"), TEXT("Julie")},
{TEXT("Georges"), TEXT("Georges"), TEXT("Georges"), TEXT("Georges"), TEXT("Georges")}};

You need to set the subitems...

       for (int row = 0; row < NB_ROWS; row++)
       {
           for ( int col = 0: col <5; col++ )
           {
              lvI.mask = LVIF_TEXT;
              lvI.iItem = row;
              lvI.iSubItem = col;
              lvI.pszText  = dataLV[rows][cols];
                 
              ListView_InsertItem(hWndListView, &lvI);
          }
       }

It works partially. The name Pascal only appears in the the first column of the first row. Also the
ListView_InsertItem() returns -1.

I must say that before I try to insert items inside the control, I only created the column headers. Do I also need to create the columns before (ie 5 columns of 5 rows each because dataLV has 5 rows)?

Thank you!

The ListView_InsertItem(hWndListView, &lvI); only would create the row and add column 0. For subitems (column) 1 to 5 you need to call ListView_SetItem.

Should be

      lvI.pszText  = dataLV[row][0];
      ListView_InsertItem(hWndListView, &lvI);
      for ( int col = 1; col <5; col++ )

The code in comment 25730401 works well. But if I want to insert (or add) a whole row how will I do it?
Is it by using something like:


  for (int row = 0; row < NB_ROWS; row++)
  {
     lvI.mask = LVIF_PARAM;
     lvI.iItem = row;
     lvI.iSubItem = 0;
     lvI.lParam = (LPARAM)&dataToDisplay[rows];
     ListView_SetItem(hWndListView, &lvI); // or ListView-InsertItem(....
}

See code below.

     for (int row = 0; row < NB_ROWS; row++)
       {
            lvI.mask = LVIF_TEXT | LVIF_PARAM;
            lvI.iItem = row;
            lvI.iSubItem = 0;
            lvI.pszText  = dataLV[row][0];
            lvI.lParam = (LPARAM)&dataToDisplay[rows];
            // insert a new row and the text of first column
            ListView_InsertItem(hWndListView, &lvI); 
            // set text for additional columns
            for ( int col = 1; col <5; col++ )
            {
              lvI.mask = LVIF_TEXT; 
              lvI.iSubItem = col;
              lvI.pszText  = dataLV[row][col];
                  
              ListView_SetItem(hWndListView, &lvI);
          }
       }

The comment #25731469 add nothing to the code in the comment 25730401 but an useless instruction
(          lvI.lParam = (LPARAM)&dataToDisplay[rows];  ).

I dont want to add each column one by one (so no lvI.pszText and no LVIF_TEXT).

Thank you! This said can you find an answer to comment #25731682?
