(WINAPI) TreeView controls with check boxes on the nodes
Author
I am wondering how to set (and get) the check states of the nodes in a TreeView with the TVS_CHECKBOXES style. MSDN suggests the TreeView_SetCheck macro, but for some reason it is not in my headers (must be out of date, I am using VC++ 6). It mentions that failing that, one should just use TVM_SETITEM (or TreeView_SetItem), but I am having trouble figuring out how exactly to do this.
I've been fiddling with it for a few days, and I havn't had much luck. Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks, ~SPH
Since VC++ 6.0 is about 8 years old it's very possible that your Platform SDK is out of date. If possible, you might want to look into upgrading (for free) to Visual C++ Express.
Back to your problem:
From what I gather from the MSDN you must create your TVITEM in the following way

// Set the stateTVITEM tvi;tvi.mask = TVIF_STATE;tvi.stateMask = TVIS_STATEIMAGEMASK;// INDEXTOSTATEIMAGEMASK(2) is the checked state// INDEXTOSTATEIMAGEMASK(1) is the unchecked state// INDEXTOSTATEIMAGEMASK(0) removes the checkbox (no state)tvi.state = INDEXTOSTATEIMAGEMASK(2);SendMessage(hwnd_treeview, TVM_SETITEM, 0, (LPARAM)(&TVITEM));// Get the stateUINT state = SendMessage(hwnd_treeview, TVM_GETITEMSTATE, (WPARAM)htreeitem, TVIS_STATEIMAGEMASK);switch (state) { case INDEXTOSTATEIMAGEMASK(0): // No state break; case INDEXTOSTATEIMAGEMASK(1): // Unchecked break; case INDEXTOSTATEIMAGEMASK(2): // Checked break;}
Those macros are actually named TreeView_SetCheckState and TreeView_SetItemState (note the "State" on the end).
Just to help you out, from the latest Platform SDK (VC2005) the TreeView_SetCheckState macro is defined as:
This only seems to be available if _WIN32_IE is defined to be greater than or equal to 0x0500 -- however, TreeView_SetItemState is also under that same #define. So if you have TreeView_SetItemState, you should also have TreeView_SetCheckState...

#define TreeView_SetCheckState(hwndTV, hti, fCheck) TreeView_SetItemState(hwndTV, hti, INDEXTOSTATEIMAGEMASK((fCheck)?2:1), TVIS_STATEIMAGEMASK)This only seems to be available if _WIN32_IE is defined to be greater than or equal to 0x0500 -- however, TreeView_SetItemState is also under that same #define. So if you have TreeView_SetItemState, you should also have TreeView_SetCheckState...

Thank you for the response, unfortunately it doesn't seem to be having any effect. Here is what I have:
Perhaps you can see what I am doing wrong?
Thanks, ~SPH
EDIT: I do not seem to have TreeView_SetItemState either.
TVITEM item; item.mask=TVIF_STATE; item.stateMask=TVIS_STATEIMAGEMASK; for(int i=0;i<DEFDEVICE_NLINES;i++) { item.hItem = IOItems; item.state = INDEXTOSTATEIMAGEMASK(2); TreeView_SetItem(treeHandle,&item); }Perhaps you can see what I am doing wrong?

No one has any idea on this? Anyone have a working sample source perhaps?
Even though I can't see any difference from my code, I have also tried directly pasting in what was posted as an example for me:
// Set the state TVITEM tvi; tvi.hItem = IOItems[0]; tvi.mask = TVIF_STATE; tvi.stateMask = TVIS_STATEIMAGEMASK; // INDEXTOSTATEIMAGEMASK(2) is the checked state // INDEXTOSTATEIMAGEMASK(1) is the unchecked state // INDEXTOSTATEIMAGEMASK(0) removes the checkbox (no state) tvi.state = INDEXTOSTATEIMAGEMASK(2); SendMessage(treeHandle, TVM_SETITEM, 0, (LPARAM)(&tvi));But to no avail...
Thanks for any suggestions/examples, ~SPH
I think this is a bug in the API.. not sure though, but I had problems until I saw code at this page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_mfc_ctreectrl.3a3a.setcheck.asp
Notice the lines:
mTree.Modifystyle( TVS_CHECKBOXES, 0 );
mTree.Modifystyle( 0, TVS_CHECKBOXES );
so, I did this:
DWORD style = GetWindowLong(m_ControlHandle,GWL_style);
style ^= TVS_CHECKBOXES;
SetWindowLong(m_ControlHandle,GWL_style, style);
style |= TVS_CHECKBOXES;
SetWindowLong(m_ControlHandle,GWL_style, style);
That seemed to do the trick for me... try it out... otherwise, checkboxes weren't being set by the normal commands.

I found the problem, I had a bug somewhere else that was making the IOLines array contain invalid values. You've all been a great help though, in procuring the original method.
Thanks for your help, ~SPH
