Listview Question.

DisasterIncarna · 17 December 2022, 18:15

Never actually tried this before so not sure, but can a gadtools listview contain bold entries or are all entries fixed to regular formatted text?

Yes, it can. GadTools offers you to supply a custom rendering hook, and there you can render entries in whatever form or shape you like.

Yup, GadTools supports it, but the Blitz GadTools command library doesn't provide a convenient way to do it so you need to handle the hook code "manually" with a couple of assembly commands and a particular code structure. There's a good example in the Blitz Support Suite IIRC that works fine.

cheers all, wasnt sure as i only recall seeing a bolded text entry in a listview from an MUI application, couldnt think of any gadtools programs that did the same. Thanks daedalus, i'll have a gander at that blitz example soon.
