ControlsExDevice library

[SteveA]

Problem solved and I thought I ought to let you know in case someone else comes across it - not related to the actual lib but a problem in getting it and possible other libs elsewhere on the forum...

I download using Net Transport on Vista 64 (this is an excellent program, which has resume, etc and I have used for years - it is constantly being updated). When I kept downloading your lib it would not expand as per my post. However, after reading your post I decided to turn off Net Transport and download directly. This time it would expand. Just to check, I redownload again via Net Transport and once more it would not expand. I simply do not know why this should happen, but thought I ought to pass it on in case anyone cannot expand a zip from the forum.

Thanks, Steve

Great library but is it possible to rename things in it?

I'm currently using Filippos listview component for a database app, and would like to use the spliter and date/time control from this in it too; however b4p doesn't like having two libraries with things called listview.

I've looked at swapping to the controlsex listview control, but it looks like a rather time consuming change of code which I'd rather not attempt (and probably impossible if the standard 'list' view isn't supported[?]).

Sorry, no!

What makes you think that? From the help

View : Int32 [I/O] : Gets or set the view of the control on the screen. LargeIcon = 0, Details = 1, SmallIcon = 2, List = 3, Tile = 4

Sorry, no!

Ah, fair enough, never quite sure what's possible or not with code.

sorry, I mean the details view. (lv.View = 1) I can get things to show in the other modes, but not that one...

From post #31 of this thread

"it provides LargeIcon, SmallIcon, Details and List views but on my device the List view shows nothing. A device limitation I assume. "

List view is mode 3, is that the one doesn't show on your device? The other three modes work on my device - I can't explain why the fourth doesn't Out of interest I will try Fillipos and see if his works on my device in that mode, and if it does I will investigate the problem (again!).

And having just fiddled again, I've suddenly realised that it probably needs a ColumnHeader to work....
so with lv.AddColumnHeader("anything") added, everything works fine as advertised!
Sorry to waste your time there, my ability to miss the obvious is sometimes most impressive.
