ListView ordering

Hi,

I have a multicolumn ListView control which I have created directly using the CreateWindowEx function. It has the LVS_REPORT style. I use LVM_INSERTITEM to add items and then LVM_SETITEMTEXT to set the individual columns.

However, LVM_INSERTITEM always adds new entries at the top of the list. Is there any way to get it to add them at the bottom?

Make sure you set the iItem member of the LVITEM struct to the required index.

See also The Old New Thing: Positioned vs. non-positioned listview views.

do something like this:

Code:

---

int iIndex = 0;
/* blah blah blah, switch statement case WM_COMMAND */
case IDM_ADD:
  lvItem.iItem = iIndex;
  /* blah blah blah, send the LVM_INSERTITEM message */

  /* if the item was inserted, increment iIndex by 1 */
  ++iIndex;

  /* return TRUE, break, whatever */
case IDM_REMOVE:
  /* remove the item */

  /* if the item removed successfully, decrement iIndex by 1 */
  --iIndex;

  /* return TRUE, break, whatever */

---

thats how I do it, its simple, but it does the trick ;) .
