I'm maintaining an MFC/COM/ATL 45-odd project solution originally written with VS6. I'm now using VS2008.
I'm looking at a list control(vanilla CListCtrl) which doesn't behave as we think it should.
Normally in an MFC list control you can press a key, (Q say) & selection will jump down to the 1st line beginning with 'Q' (like windows explorer). Does anyone have an idea as to why this might not happen?
The styles/Extended styles are set the same as another control in the same project, which DOES work OK.
Do I have to send my own message, or is there a flag, etc. that controls that functionality or what? Normally Google would supply the answer, but I haven't been able to frame my query correctly to come up with the relevant info this time.
Here's the line from the .rc file for the CListCtrl that doesn't jump to a line on keypress:
CONTROL "List1",IDC_BAL_LIST,"SysListView32",LVS_REPORT | LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS | WS_BORDER | WS_TABSTOP,0,73,493,230
And here's a line from the same .rc file showing a list control that does do that:
CONTROL "List1",IDC_LIST1,"SysListView32",LVS_REPORT | LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS | WS_BORDER | WS_TABSTOP,1,38,501,219
As you can see, there's no obvious difference to the properties, so what program code would affect it?
