ListBox and Pictures

Getting Started
1

I am having a slight issue with putting a Picture into a Cell in a ListBox. The Picture is displayed too far to the Left and as a result, the Picture is cut off.

lstDeckList.AddRow lstDeckList.RowPicture(i) = tmpCard.SmPic

The Pictures I am using are 60x88.

I have tried to Align the Column to Center and Left with no change.

The ListBox has 2 Columns. The Picture is going into Column 0 and Column 0 has a width of 20% which is more than big enough to fit the Pictures I am using. The width of the ListBox is 547.

This is the first time I am putting Pictures into a ListBox so maybe I am doing something wrong or is there a way to shift the Pictures over a bit.

Don’t use RowPicture then…
Put the picture in the ROWTAG instead (its a variant so it will store it)
Then in the CELLBACKGROUNDPAINT event… draw it whereever/however you need to.

I did this to create a Photo Gallery… worked just fine.

I works but now it puts the picture in BOTH columns.

Check the Column parameter of CellBackgroundPaint, and only draw it in Column = 0.

Can you elaborate on how to do that?

if Column = 0 then
   // draw the picture
end if

Thank you. One last question. The second column contains text, is there a way to skew the text to fit the column? I want to keep the same font size?

8

In CELLTEXTPAINT, use DRAWSTRING and draw the text yourself…

Don’t forget to RETURN TRUE, or the event will draw it again

What do you mean by “skew the text,” exactly?

I want to scale the text to fit the width of Column 1. I couldn’t think of the term before. I don’t want it to WordWrap. I only want to scale it horizontally, not vertically.

As a side question, can I use transparency with this?

Some years ago, I saw this as well. My project uses fixed graphics,
therefore I added a white area to the left of each graphics file to let it display correctly.
But I think I will take a look into S’s solution written in the 2nd post above, too.
