Setting item height of a list view? (using custom draw)

Question

How can I set the row height of a custom drawn list view? Or does it require an owner drawn list view?

Answer 1

It depends on the mode you are using it in. In some modes, you can use the LVM_SETITEMHEIGHT message. In others some modes, the item height is dictated by the height of an associated ImageList, if any, followed by the height of the assigned Font.

Update : turns out that LVM_SETITEMHEIGHT is part of the MiniGUI library , not part of the Win32 API. In that case, you would have to use the LVS_OWNERDRAWFIXED window style and then subclass the ListView to handle the WM_MEASUREITEM message.
