Hi,
i'm looking for a simple list box control which allows the selection of several rows (and returns indices of the selected rows as vector<int> or at least can get the selection state of a specific row).
Can I get this into a GetNBox macro or do I have to create the whole UI using VisualC++? I found a lot of confusing named macros like List, Listbox, Multiline, StrList, Str_Group, but it seems none of these can do this. I don't want to use a combo box interface.

If such a resource isn't available can I add a flexGrid resource to a GetNBox tree?

It would be great if you could show me a way ...
Thanks,
Michael

Hi,

If you are using a flexGrid control, this can be done by setting its selection related attributes to corresponding value, such as:


m_objActiveX.AllowSelection = true;
m_objActiveX.SelectionMode = flexSelectionListBox;


You can follow this sample step by step:

We may first learn about how to add an ActiveX control to a dialog:
http://wiki.originlab.com/~originla/wiki/index.php?title=Adding_an_ActiveX_Control_to_a_Dialog_Builder_Dialog_%28User-Interface_Development%29

Then, here's an tutorial about Programmatically Accessing a Dialog Builder Dialog with an ActiveX Control:
You can refer to http://wiki.originlab.com/~originla/wiki/index.php?title=Programmatically_Accessing_a_Dialog_Builder_Dialog_with_an_ActiveX_Control_%28User-Interface_Development%29

Open ActiveXDlgCls.h mentioned in that page in Code Builder , insert that two lines of code(in red and bold) right after the line
m_objActiveX = GetItem( IDC_AXD_VSFLEXGRID ).GetActiveXControl();

and add this line at the file header:
#include <vsFlexGrid.h>

Then it becomes multi-selectable after doing this.

Thanks,
Kenny

Hi Kenny,

thank you for your quick answer!
I'm quite famliar using flexGrid but now I'm working with build-in GetNBox macros, which I prefer for smaller projects.

Now my question is whether it is possible to add such a list box into a GetNBox dialog? I didn't find any way but I think there should be one because this is a rather basic resource element (and radio box, multiline text, etc. work quite perfect).
Sorry for any inconvenience if my question wasn't clear.

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

It's not supported to add such a list box into a GetNBox dialog currently, we have submitted a tracker now. (#13409 Need GETN marco to support multiple selectable list table box)

Thanks,
Kenny
