A question about wxListCtrl and wxLC_VRULES....please help.

Post by webmasterpdx »

I am using wxDevC++ and am using a wxListCtrl with 3 columns.
When I set wxLC_VIRTUAL, the wxLC_VRULES works and draws vertical lines between columns. However, when I change from wxLC_VIRTUAL to wxLC_REPORT (which is what I need to use), the vertical lines do not appear. The HRULES works fine, but VRULES doesn't appear to draw any vertical lines.

Any ideas? I've searched everywhere and can't find a reference to this. I'm using wxWidgets 2.8.8

Thanks

I have the opposite with VRULES showing but HRULES not showing, in Mac.

Please supply a code sample of the issue.

regards.

I found the solution to my problem. I was setting the Item Count to 1000000 because originally I was planning on using a Virtual List, but that requires deriving from the form ListCtrl component, and I don't know of a way to do that from the form designer (I like to use the form designer wherever possible). I think wxDevC++ allows you to derive using the Base Class property, but I've been unable to find instructions on how to do that.
Anyways, when I remove the SetItemCount(1000000), the VRULES work fine.

Note that for the Mac person posting here, I did find a Max version of listctrl called wxListCtrl_mac which you can find if you search on the web. It could be you need to use that.

Now, if anyone knows how to make my rightmost column align and spread in width to fit the window even when resized. Any ideas? I appreciate any help in advance.

Thanks
