[SOLVED] Listview.ItemIndex - Linux port to Windows

[roger T]

I have the following code:-

procedure TSys1.ListViewClick(Sender: TObject);
   begin

   if(ListView.ItemIndex > -1) then
      begin
               do something
      end;

end;                 
           
Linux: A click on any column in a row returns the row index   
Windows: Only a column 1 click will return the row index

Am I able to have the Windows version working like the Linux version

Hi
Did you remember to set 'ViewStyle' = 'vsReport'?!?

Yes, I did

Hi
You could have, that given only the first column is an item and the rest are subitems, winders only returns the first one...
Sorry, unable to test, no winders here...

Code: [Select]

procedure TSys1.ListViewClick(Sender: TObject);
begin

if(ListView.ItemIndex > -1) then
begin
               do something
end;

end;

I'm using Lazarus 3.99 (trunk).

It fires the OnClick event on WIndows when a subitem is clicked. It does not, however,  make the subitem selected because subitems never become selected on Windows.

If you want the same behavior on both Linux and Windows, Set RowSelect to True. The OnClick triggers when the row is clicked (no matter which item or subitem is clicked) and the entire row is highlighted.

I tested on Windows and QT6. Can't speak for GTK.

Yup, that does the trick.
Interesting to note that it is false on the Linux version but still selects by row.

Cheers
