i wanna make a dynamic list like CE's address list. the user can add entries one by one and delete them. the implementation of the 'list' will be a linked list which i need to code.

i was wondering how CE does it.. for its GUI

edit : i think it's a listbox.. gotta figure out how to use it

awesome figured it out. but how does CE make it so there's multiple 'fields' for each row ?

edit : fck that i was wasting my time. it's list-view i want, not listbox

oh wow gay.. just realised dialog units aren't the same as pixels and the column width needs to be given in pixels. OMG GAYYYYYY

okay i actually have a question now. if i want to split the listview into 2 columns then i need to add each column with LVM_INSERTCOUMN where a width is specified. let's say the control's entire width is 150 DLU. now i tried converting 100 DLU and 50 DLU to pixels and then creating those columns with the converted lengths but it always ends up a tiny bit too big so then it generates a lame little horizontal scroll at the bottom of the control. i then tried converting 100 DLU and 150 DLU then creating a column with index 0 of width 'converted 100 DLU' and the colum with index 1 of width 'converted 150 DLU - converted 100 DLU' but the same thing happens and i get the horizontal bar. any ideas anyone ?!

Ive accomplished something similar to this But in a "Native" way using the HandleTable functions which are "forbidden" cause they are *screams* "undocumented" but what i got works so far Wink

This is the link to that specific posting which contains the code and comments about how I did it and why I did things "differently".. sorry I couldn't further answer your question, But I tried to provide a valid similar solution Wink

(albeit with minor modifications and coding on your part) and if this isn't interesting to you, then i suggest looking at how DB did it in his source code.. Smile

hey thanks for that but i really, really hate using undocumented functions.. i keep thinking back to it and it's like an itch that won't go away till i change it LOL

i guess i will have to root around in CE source sometime..

btw in case what i said was unclear to anyone, here is what i mean :

see how under the list view there is a gay little horizontal scrollbar..

Remember that the dialog size (and size of controls in the dialog) depends on the font size you are using for the dialog.

If my memory serves me right there shoud be an example of how to use a listview in the masm32 examples.

i'm okay with using listview for the time being, just trying to get rid of that horizontal bar..

it seems to disappear when i include a manifest during building o_O

top example is with manifest included of course.

It also depends on the frame then.

How about allocating a block of memory around 1024 Bytes, than write the addresses there?

i would criticize but i have no clue what you're even trying to do and i have no clue why you thought we were trying to do anything even vaguely related to addresses

Ohhhh, ok. I can still see you're still an immature out of place faggot who's trying to prove he's worth something in the world, but really, he's not worth shit.

You'd probably show this to spencer, because you couldn't have an argument with me without inviting someone else.

what... you posted some obsolete and useless code. i pointed it out and even kindly gave you an optimized version regardless of its functionality as a learning exercise to you and you throw it back in my face by attacking me ?

what are you void, a rabid dog ?
