 Introduction
The Windows Explorer uses list view
controls to display the files on your
harddisk, more and more applications are
using these controls for all different
purposes and now you can too!
Finally, there's a native list view control
available for Clarion!
As the
fourth product in our series of wrapper
classes for common win32 api controls,
SysList profits from our extensive experience in
bringing these controls to Clarion. It is possible to use list
view controls without writing a single line
of code! In addition, it is even possible
to have the list view control display data
from a Clarion queue! This makes it easy, for
example, to sort the list's contents by
clicking on a column's header (this is only
one of the supported features).
We're also proud to say that a full range
of functions (those that are
relevant for a Clarion application) is
supported - the SysList class has more than
100 member functions to tweak the appearance
and behavior of this versatile control! But don't be
afraid, even a beginner can have a list-view
control working in under 5 minutes using the
SysList templates!
One concern when using native windows
controls is event handling. Like all our Sys*
products, SysList uses our unique mechanism
of mapping control events to virtual
callback procedures. For each event
triggered by
the control, there's a virtual member
function you can override to implement your
very own event handling.
