Hi

I want to create a several listview control programmatically depend on API information.
Is there a way to do that without writing something in .grc resource file ?

How I can do this ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi ggiloyan,

Sure, you can add dynamically new dialog items to your dialog using DGAppendDialogItem function.

Here's a short example how to create new ListView control to your dialog:

listInd = DGAppendDialogItem (dialID, DG_ITM_LISTVIEW, DG_LVT_SINGLESELECT, 0, x, y, dx, dy); 
if (listInd == 0) { 
	ACAPI_WriteReport ("Failed to create ListView!", true); 
} else { 
	DGSetItemFont (dialID, listInd, DG_IS_SMALL | DG_IS_PLAIN); 
	DGListViewSetItemSize (dialID, listInd, itemWidth, itemHeight); 
	DGShowItem (dialID, listInd); 
 
	for (short i = 0; i < nItems; i++) { 
		DGListViewInsertItem (dialID, listInd, DG_LIST_BOTTOM); 
		DGListViewSetItemText (dialID, listInd, DG_LIST_BOTTOM, GS::UniString::Printf ("ListView item #%d", i)); 
	} 
}

Of course to make space to your new controls you should resize your dialog using DGSetDialogSize or move other controls.

You can find many useful functions in DG.h header file.
