Changing Background Colour of a wxListView Item

[gillp28]

I am trying to change the background colour of a wxListView Item. So every time the connect button is clicked it should change the item colour but so for some reason it is not working.

Code: Select all

wxPanel* mainPanel;

//(*IdInit(MachineLearningLinkerFrame)
const long MachineLearningLinkerFrame::ID_MENUITEM1 = wxNewId();
const long MachineLearningLinkerFrame::idMenuAbout = wxNewId();
const long MachineLearningLinkerFrame::ID_STATUSBAR1 = wxNewId();
const long MachineLearningLinkerFrame::ID_LIST = wxNewId(); 
const long MachineLearningLinkerFrame::ID_CONNECT = wxNewId();
wxListView* list;
wxListCtrl* link; 
wxTreeCtrl* treeList;
//*)

BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(MachineLearningLinkerFrame, wxFrame)
//(*EventTable(MachineLearningLinkerFrame)
	EVT_MOTION(MachineLearningLinkerFrame::onMouse)
//*)
END_EVENT_TABLE()

MachineLearningLinkerFrame::MachineLearningLinkerFrame(wxWindow* parent, wxWindowID id)
{
	//(*Initialize(MachineLearningLinkerFrame)
	wxMenu* Menu1;
	wxMenu* Menu2;
	wxMenuBar* MenuBar1;
	wxMenuItem* MenuItem1;
	wxMenuItem* MenuItem2;
	wxButton* connect; 
	wxBoxSizer* verticalSizer = new wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL);
	wxBoxSizer* horizontalSizer = new wxBoxSizer(wxHORIZONTAL);
	wxBoxSizer* horSize2 = new wxBoxSizer(wxHORIZONTAL);
	

	Create(parent, wxID_ANY, wxEmptyString, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE, _T("wxID_ANY"));
	SetClientSize(wxSize(500, 500));
	mainPanel = new wxPanel(this, wxID_ANY); 
	//mainPanel->Bind(wxEVT_PAINT, &MachineLearningLinkerFrame::on_paint, this);
	mainPanel->SetSizer(verticalSizer);
	verticalSizer->Add(horizontalSizer, 1, wxALL | wxEXPAND, 2);


	MenuBar1 = new wxMenuBar();
	Menu1 = new wxMenu();
	MenuItem1 = new wxMenuItem(Menu1, ID_MENUITEM1, _("Quit\tAlt-F4"), _("Quit the application"), wxITEM_NORMAL);
	Menu1->Append(MenuItem1);
	MenuBar1->Append(Menu1, _("&File"));
	Menu2 = new wxMenu();
	MenuItem2 = new wxMenuItem(Menu2, idMenuAbout, _("About\tF1"), _("Show info about this application"), wxITEM_NORMAL);
	Menu2->Append(MenuItem2);
	MenuBar1->Append(Menu2, _("Help"));
	SetMenuBar(MenuBar1);
	StatusBar1 = new wxStatusBar(this, ID_STATUSBAR1, 0, _T("ID_STATUSBAR1"));
	int __wxStatusBarWidths_1[1] = { -1 };
	int __wxStatusBarStyles_1[1] = { wxSB_NORMAL };
	StatusBar1->SetFieldsCount(1, __wxStatusBarWidths_1);
	StatusBar1->SetStatusStyles(1, __wxStatusBarStyles_1);
	SetStatusBar(StatusBar1);

	

	wxBitmap checked;
	checked.LoadFile("C:/Users/pavne/Downloads/redFlag.png", wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG);
	wxBitmap unchecked; 
	unchecked.LoadFile("C:/Users/pavne/Downloads/greenFlag.png", wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG);
	wxImageList* images = new wxImageList(checked.GetWidth(), unchecked.GetWidth(), true);

	images->Add(checked);
	images->Add(unchecked);


    list = new wxListView(mainPanel, ID_LIST, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, wxLC_LIST );
	list->AssignImageList(images,0);
	treeList = new wxTreeCtrl(mainPanel, wxID_ANY, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize); 
	link = new wxListCtrl(mainPanel, wxID_ANY, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, wxLC_REPORT | wxLC_VRULES);
	treeList->AddRoot("Pavneet"); 
	connect = new wxButton(mainPanel, ID_CONNECT, "Connect", wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize); 
	horizontalSizer->Add(list, 1, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 2); 
	horizontalSizer->Add(treeList, 1, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 2);
	horSize2->Add(connect, 1, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 4); 
	verticalSizer->Add(horSize2, 0, wxALIGN_TOP | wxALIGN_CENTER | wxTOP | wxRIGHT | wxBOTTOM, 4);
	verticalSizer->Add(link, 1, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 2);

	itemCol.SetText("Item");
	itemCol.SetImage(-1);
	link->InsertColumn(0, itemCol);

	itemCol.SetText("Linkage");
	itemCol.SetAlign(wxLIST_FORMAT_CENTRE);
	link->InsertColumn(1, itemCol)


	for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
	{
		list->InsertItem(i, "Item");
	}


	

	Connect(ID_MENUITEM1, wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED, (wxObjectEventFunction)& MachineLearningLinkerFrame::OnQuit);

}

The documentation says that this function only works in report view mode (wxLC_REPORT). You create the list control with wxLC_LIST.

Thanks. I also have a another problem. When i Initially start the program i only see one of the lists, but when i expand it I see all the lists and the buttons how they are supposed to be initially.

Hi,
Did you successfully added the controls to the sizers and called Layout()?

Thank you.
