FIX: Resource Editor Cannot Set LVS_OWNERDRAWFIXED Style (133715)
The information in this article applies to:
- The Resource Editor, when used with:
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions 2.1
This article was previously published under Q133715 SYMPTOMS
In the Resource Editor, you can specify styles for a list view control
(CListCtrl) in a dialog template. Therefore, you should be able to set the
owner draw fixed (LVS_OWNERDRAWFIXED) style by selecting the corresponding
check box. However, the LVS_OWNERDRAWFIXED style is not saved in the
resource file.
CAUSE
The problem is caused by the fact that the LVS_OWNERDRAWFIXED and
LVS_ALIGNBOTTOM styles have the same value, 0x0400. Similar problems may
occur if you use LVS_ALIGNMASK. Note that LVS_ALIGNBOTTOM is not used or
defined in later versions of the common control header files.
RESOLUTION
Add the style manually in the resource file by opening it as a text file
and adding the hexadecimal value 0x400 (a constant for LVS_OWNERDRAWFIXED
as defined in the commctrl.h file) to the styles already present. Note that
once you add the style, it is shown correctly as checked in the Resource
Editor, but you are not able to remove it by clearing the check box. If you
need to remove it, you must remove it manually.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in
Visual C++ 4.0 and 4.1.
