I have been working with VCL for a couple months now, and could solve all my problems by googling, but this one got me stuck. I want to color a row in a TListView whenever the subItem at index 7 of that row does not contain a certain text (see code below). It all works well, except that the caption-cell (furthest to the left) of the last row does not get colored. I tried a couple hacks (e.g. enabling and then disbaling the ListView when drawing an item), but I didn't find one that doesn't break other stuff on the form (e.g. timers). Also, after I click on the cell, it does get colored... I'm using XE7 (C++Builder) on Windows 7. All suggestions are appreciated ;)
void __fastcall TBackupManagerForm::OverviewListViewCustomDrawItem(TCustomListView *Sender, TListItem *Item, TRect &Rect, TOwnerDrawState State)
{
if ((*Item->SubItems)[7] != "someText") {
Sender->Canvas->Brush->Color = clRed;
}
else {
Sender->Canvas->Brush->Color = clWindow;
}
TRect r, rt;
r = Item->DisplayRect(drBounds);
Sender->Canvas->FillRect(Rect);
r.Right = r.Left + (*OverviewListView->Columns)[0]->Width;
rt = r;
rt.Left += 5;
rt.Top += 1;
UnicodeString s = Item->Caption;
Sender->Canvas->TextRect(rt, s, TTextFormat()<<tfSingleLine<<tfEndEllipsis);
for (int i = 0; i < Item->SubItems->Count; i++) {
ListView_GetSubItemRect(Sender->Handle, Item->Index, i+1, LVIR_BOUNDS,&rt);
s = (*Item->SubItems)[i];
Sender->Canvas->TextRect(rt, s, TTextFormat()<<tfSingleLine<<tfEndEllipsis);
}
}
EDIT (Answering comments here because not enough rep :P)
@PaulMcCarthy Yeah, that seemed weird to me too...
@RemyLebeau Thanks for the suggestions, I implemented them.
Also, I managed to get it drawn properly by making an extra call to OverviewListView->Refresh()
from outside CustomDrwaItem
, but it still bugs me that it didn't work without it (pun somewhat intended).
