Change the look of wxListCtrl Topic is solved

[extreme001]

Hi!

As i'm coming from mfc i know there is a way to change to look&feel of a listcontrol and want to do it in wx for all platforms. I checked the wxRendererNative class and the sample "render" in the samples directory but i'm more confused than ever and need help with it, please.

I want to change the height of the columnheader and also the backgroundcolor and the textcolor of the columnheader. Is it possible with wx or must i create an own control.

Here is an example:

Hope to get helped.

Thank you!

Hi,

Which part of the screenshot would you like to use wxListCtrl for?
For the main section with the players, etc., I would be inclined to use wxGrid, it allows you to render whatever you would like in each cell.

See http://docs.wxwidgets.org/stable/wx_wxgrid.html#wxgrid and also the sample in your samples folder.

Hope that helps,

Jim

It should look like one in player summary. With headers and footers if possible. Data should be sorted, too. I think sorting is a feature which is not available in a wxGrid...or am i wrong?

Can i change the color of the columnheader in a grid?

And is it possible to find out if a columnheader was clicked?

Thank s for your help so far

Yes, I believe you would need to implement any sorting on your own.

Yes, you can change the label background color, text color and font.

And is it possible to find out if a columnheader was clicked?

Thank s for your help so far :-)

There are events for label clicks.

Hi,

My understanding is that the background color needs to be the same for all column labels, i.e. you can't have a different color for each column label.

As Tim points out, you can do your own sorting. Depending on how your data is stored, it can be quite straight forward.
You could use wxArrayPtrVoid to store the data or use STL list. Both support a sort function.

Hope that helps,

Jim

The answer main question "Can i manipulate a wxListCtrl to change the color & size of headers?" Is NO. right?

You're right. AFAIK this cannot be achieved.

one option could be to use a copy of wxGenericListCtrl and modify it to your needs. E.g. aMule did it that way.
