OK. Well, the docs on the LVM_REDRAWITEMS[^] message are pretty straight forward. You already have the mechanism to send the message. All you need to do is supply the listviews first and last item numbers that need to be redrawn.

Now, you have a second, more serious problem, that you can't get around. If this was your own ListView and your were ownerdrawing it, your code would have to be written to specifically handle this message. I have yet to see an ownerdrawn ListView that does this. If the app your trying to control like this ownerdraws its ListView control, you're S.O.L, and none of this will ever matter.

could u tell me what should i put for the parameters in my case :

SendMessage(    // returns LRESULT in lResult<br />
         (HWND) hWndControl,       // handle to destination control<br />
         (UINT) LVM_SETTEXTCOLOR,  // message ID<br />
         (WPARAM) wParam,          // = 0; not used, must be zero<br />
         (LPARAM) lParam           // = (LPARAM) (COLORREF) clrText;<br />
         <br />
         );

I have no idea what should put and replace what ?

Don't tell me you copy-paste-and-prayed the code you posted??

LVM_REDRAWITEMS is (LVM_FIRST + 21)

The wParam value should be the index number of the first ListView item that needs to be redrawn. The lParam value should be the index of the last item.

So, you're code would be something like:

Private Const LVM_REDRAWITEMS = (LVM_FIRST + 21)
.
.
.
SendMessage hwnd, LVM_REDRAWITEMS, firstItemIndex, lastItemIndex

Then it's entirely possible that the ListView you're trying to control is ownerdrawn by the other application. In which case, there's nothing you can do to get the effect you want. This is because the ownerdraw code will always paint the items exactly how its written to, ignoring the attributes that your injecting into the items list.

That is not true that the listview is overdrwan by diffrent application. Since i got visual c++ version of same code and it is corectly changing the color!! I think there is problem in calling refresh and redraw !

Some people suggest i need to send a refresh using LVM_REDRAWITEMS to listview after setting a color for it. But i do not know how to use LVM_REDRAWITEMS. I be happy if an expert help me fix there problems.Thanks

Then I'm failing to see what your problem is or what your intended effect is...

You're original post said the code is working, but in the next sentence, says that people are suggesting sending other messages. What's broken??

Are you saying that you have C++ code that is working, but when you try to convert it to VB.NET it isn't??

We'll have to see the C++ code you're using and the VB6 code came up with from it. There's obviously something missing...

Here is the visual c++ version :

        HWND ATLWIN = FindWindowEx(ATL, 0, "atl:0053c8d0", 0);<br />
        HWND Dialog = FindWindowEx(ATLWIN, 0, "SysListView32", 0);<br />
        HWND Rich = FindWindowEx(Dialog, 0, "SysHeader32", 0);<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
            CButton *pButton1 = (CButton*)GetDlgItem(IDC_BUTTON1);<br />
            COLORREF GetBkColor(IDC_BUTTON1);<br />
<br />
            //COLORREF color = m_color.GetColor();<br />
			COLORREF color = 33023;<br />
            TRACE("Color of the selected font = %8x\n", color);<br />
<br />
            //CButton *pButton = (CButton*)GetDlgItem(IDC_BUTTON2);<br />
            //pButton->SetWindowText("Shoot");<br />

If any one not understood my question

My Question is Incase if i have two hashTables and does not contain same key values , so there is no link between the two tables right.
Now i want to loop thru both the hashtables at a time
like one value from 1st hashtable and one value from the 2nd hashtable
then move next ....so on

Can i use for i as integer=0 to ht.count or something like that ??

You have to call each htable's GetEnumerator() to get the enumerator and then walk through the collection. This article contains some code snippets: link.

The items in a hash table are not stored in a way that you can retrieve them in the order that you stored them. If there is no way of associating the items in the two lists from the data in the items themselves, you can't list them correctly.

Unless, of course, you don't care at all in what order the items comes from the lists.

Mouse position information

Hi all:

I need to get mouse position information which is easy enough to do with the form's mouseMove event. I've noticed, though when the mouse passes through a control, the flow of x,y coordinates stops.

How do I get a continous flow of information? I suppose I could add a mouseMove event to each control, but that seems like a kludgy way of doing things.

Thanks,
Norm

You could add a handler in your form for the controls when you add them. Something like this:

Public Sub AddControl(ByVal Control as UserControl)
AddHandler Control.MouseMove, AddressOf HandleMouseMove

Me.Controls.Add(Control)
End Sub

Private Sub HandleMouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs)
'handle your mouse move stuff
End Sub

Hope this helps. As well, don't forget that if you use AddHandler to add an event handler, always have a RemoveHandler when you close your form, otherwise your application will have a memory leak.

Public Sub RemoveAllControlHandlers()
For Each Control as Control In Me.Controls
RemoveHandler Control.MouseMove, AddresOf HandleMouseMove
Next
End Sub

Why not create a module that contains global variables? In form2, you can place the information into a global variable. Then, when you close the form and/or get back to form1, it will be there.
