CListCtrl Report Style Row Height

I suspect the easiest way is to change the font.

Assuming you are using this in a dialog, do something like the following in OnInitialUpdate()


CFont* pFont = m_List.GetFont(); // get the current font
LOGFONT logfont;
pFont->GetLogFont(&logfont);  // and it's characteristics - for me this returns lfHeight = -11;

logfont.lfHeight = -14;  // set a new height

m_NewFont = new CFont;  // create a new font
m_NewFont->CreateFontIndirect(&logfont); // with the appro characteristics
m_List.SetFont(m_NewFont); // and tell the list control to use it

This works except that in order to get the height I want, I have to use a font that is too big.  In addition, this effects the font of the header title which I do not want.

Thanks anyway,
Cindy

Er, do you want wider rows, or taller rows?

Maybe you can change the image's size stored in your imagelist.


    m_LargeImageList.Create(sizex,sizey,ILC_COLOR24|ILC_MASK,10,1000);
    ListCtrl.SetImageList(&m_LargeImageList, LVSIL_SMALL);



Good Luck!

If you have memory to burn, I guess that's a good idea.  An image list, even when metpy, is going to use some memory based on the size of the bitmaps you've indicated you will record in it. Manipulating the image list to change the height of rows is wasteful.

First, I would like to set the row HEIGHT.  Sorry for the confusion.

Second, I don't think changing the size of the bitmap is a good solution.

There's got to be a way of getting to this attribute.  CCtrlList inherits from CWnd, but I'm not sure how to handle these subitems.

You can take the DrawItem() code from ROWLIST sample.

But for changing the height of the row, simply handle WM_MEASUREITEM. Change lpMeasureItemStruct->itemHeight to the height you require.

If you don't find the message in the ClassWizard add it yourself. Add this line before END_MESSAGE_MAP() in the cpp file:
ON_WM_MEASUREITEM_REFLECT()

In the .h file add the following line just before DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP():
afx_msg void MeasureItem(LPMEASUREITEMSTRUCT lpMeasureItemStruct);
