Hi everybody,

i put a ListControl on a dialog and want to catch the LVN_BEGINDRAG Handler.
I know that LVN_BEGINDRAG is a notify message.

I tried already :

ON_NOTIFY_REFLECT(LVN_BEGINDRAG,OnBeginDrag)

and via :

OnNotify(WPARAM w,LPARAM l, ...
{
if(((LPNMHDR)l)->code == LVN_BEGINDRAG)
int ok = 1; --> breakpoint

but i can't catch it Unsure | :~

I tried also directly to add a handler via the ressource editor by adding a new handler,
but there i can't find the LVN_BEGINDRAG handler, only DoubleClick, Set & KillFocus ...

How should i catch it?

Big thanks Smile | :)

Try this:

ON_NOTIFY(LVN_BEGINDRAG, IDC_LISTVIEW1, OnLvnBeginDrag)

This should work.

Thanks for your answer Smile | :)

Is it necessairy to create a class from this Listbox from which i want to catch the Drag?

Because it won't work Frown | :(

Dont need to it.Maybe you want to see Drag and Drop between and within a CListCtrl[^].(if you want to listctrl on your previous message)

Thanks for the tutorial,

but i really don't find where i can add the LVN_BEGINDRAG-handler via the classwizard.
I tried a lot of things, but no way to find a LVN_BEGINDRAG.

Unsure | :~

You may actually have to type it in by hand Smile | :)

For the handler prototype(s), see ON_NOTIFY and WM_NOTIFY Messages[^]

Insert this code to your program

///On the cpp file insert these codes
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CDialogDlg, CDialog)
	ON_NOTIFY(LVN_BEGINRDRAG, IDC_LIST2, OnLvnBeginrdragList2)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()


void CDialogDlg::OnLvnBeginrdragList2(NMHDR *pNMHDR, LRESULT *pResult)
{
	LPNMLISTVIEW pNMLV = reinterpret_cast<LPNMLISTVIEW>(pNMHDR);
	// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
	*pResult = 0;
}

///And on the header file insert this code
	afx_msg void OnLvnBeginrdragList2(NMHDR *pNMHDR, LRESULT *pResult);

,

my code was completely correct, but probably the CListbox don't support drag&drop,
with CListCtrl it works fine

Method SetEnvironmentVariable not working !

I suggest use of CListCtrl on your program its better and very flexible than CListBox.;)

This function will set the environment variable for the current process only. I will not change the whole system's environment variable.

To change system environment variables, modify the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment registry key.

Hi,

I wanted to make my program to work on the desktop.
like http://desktop-tools.net/clock.html

i tried many things but i just dont know how did they do it? i dont know about any technique to make it transparant.

Is this possible or is it somesort of rendercode that creates a picture from what you need to have on the desktop and so making everything arround the text transparant? i hope there is a easier way.
