phoenix_title ListItem

This class stores information about a ListCtrl item or column.

ListItem is a class which contains informations about:

  • Zero based item position; see SetId and GetId.
  • Zero based column index; see SetColumn and GetColumn.
  • The label (or header for columns); see SetText and GetText.
  • The zero based index into an image list; see GetImage and SetImage.
  • Application defined data; see SetData and GetData.
  • For columns only: the width of the column; see SetWidth and GetWidth.
  • For columns only: the format of the column; one of LIST_FORMAT_LEFT , LIST_FORMAT_RIGHT , LIST_FORMAT_CENTRE . See SetAlign and GetAlign.
  • The state of the item; see SetState and GetState. This is a bitlist of the following flags:
    • LIST_STATE_FOCUSED: The item has the focus.
    • LIST_STATE_SELECTED: The item is selected.
    • LIST_STATE_DONTCARE: Don’t care what the state is. Win32 only.
    • LIST_STATE_DROPHILITED: The item is highlighted to receive a drop event. Win32 only.
    • LIST_STATE_CUT: The item is in the cut state. Win32 only.
  • A mask indicating which state flags are valid; this is a bitlist of the flags reported above for the item state. See SetStateMask and GetStateMask().
  • A mask indicating which fields of this class are valid; see SetMask and GetMask. This is a bitlist of the following flags:
    • LIST_MASK_STATE: The state field is valid.
    • LIST_MASK_TEXT: The label field is valid.
    • LIST_MASK_IMAGE: The image field is valid.
    • LIST_MASK_DATA: The application-defined data field is valid.
    • LIST_MASK_WIDTH: The column width field is valid.
    • LIST_MASK_FORMAT: The column format field is valid.

The ListItem object can also contain item-specific colour and font information: for this you need to call one of SetTextColour, SetBackgroundColour or SetFont functions on it passing it the colour/font to use. If the colour/font is not specified, the default list control colour/font is used.
