Header file for Listview

Header file for creating Listview control

In an NSIS forum "dreams8.com", a member named "gfm688" writes a header file to create and handle a listview control with the report view. This header file is modified by me, I add some new macro commands.

See the attachment for details, 8 examples included.

ListView.zip (328 KB)

Example 1

/* Listview styles are defined in header file */
!include "MUI2.nsh"
!include "ListView.nsh"
 
Name "List View Example"
OutFile ListView.exe
 
Page custom CreatePage
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"
 
Function CreatePage
 
    !insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT "List view" "A listview control created by nsDialogs"
 
    nsDialogs::Create 1018
    Pop $0
    ${If} $0 == error
        Abort
    ${EndIf}
 
    ${NSD_CreateListView} 0u 0u 300u 140u "Listview"
    Pop $1
    ; ${NSD_LV_InsertColumn} hwnd col_idx_0_based col_width col_text
    ${NSD_LV_InsertColumn} $1 0 200 "column 0"
    ${NSD_LV_InsertColumn} $1 1 100 "column 1"
    ${NSD_LV_InsertColumn} $1 2 100 "column 2"
    ; ${NSD_LV_InsertItem} hwnd item_idx_0_based item_text
    ${NSD_LV_InsertItem} $1 0 'Item 0'
    ; ${NSD_LV_SetSubItem} hwnd item_idx_0_based subitem_idx_1_based subitem_text
    ${NSD_LV_SetSubItem} $1 0 1 'Subitem 0_1'
    ${NSD_LV_SetSubItem} $1 0 2 'Subitem 0_2'
    ${NSD_LV_InsertItem} $1 1 'Item 1'
    ${NSD_LV_SetSubItem} $1 1 2 'Subitem 1_2'
    ${NSD_LV_InsertItem} $1 2 'Item 2'
    ${NSD_LV_SetSubItem} $1 2 1 'Subitem 2_1'
 
    nsDialogs::Show
