It handles directly most attributes which are handled by Listview in the original couple List/Listview. The NListview exist anyway to provide a complete object with scrollbars, so you should use it as child of NListview. Anyway, you can use NList without NListview if you don't want any builtin scrollbar. NOTE: NList class will not work with Listview without some conflicts, and NListview class can't use List as child but only NList or a NList subclass. MUIM_NList_TestPos and MUIM_List_TestPos are similar but use a different struct to store data. MUIM_List_TestPos works like with a List object. NOTE: Avoid as possible to do many things in MUIM_Show and MUIM_Hide methods because when an object is in a virtual group, your object will receive them for each one of its moves !!! Standard tags with NList special values : MUIA_Background has the same meaning than MUIA_NList_ListBackground but only at init. MUIA_Font is settable only at init. MUIV_NList_Font, MUIV_NList_Font_Little and MUIV_NList_Font_Fixed are special values usable for it (settable in prefs) but standard values are usable too. MUIA_Frame you can override the defaults frames of the classe by setting it, but it will be overrided again by defaults if a set(obj,MUIA_NList_Input,bool) is made after. if MUIA_NList_Input is TRUE then the default is MUIV_Frame_InputList, if FALSE it's MUIV_Frame_ReadList. MUIA_ContextMenu MUIM_ContextMenuBuild MUIM_ContextMenuChoice read MUIM_NList_ContextMenuBuild.

SEE ALSO MUIA_Listview_ClickColumn, MUIA_NList_DefClickColumn NList.mcc/MUIA_NList_Columns NAME MUIA_NList_Columns -- [ISGN], BYTE * FUNCTION With this tag you can set/get the visible order of columns (as if changed by the user). It work for all columns in one time (use MUIM_NList_SetColumnCol if you want to exchange 2 columns). The value is a pointer on an BYTE array, each byte is for a column (in the visible order) and have the value of the display hook col which have to be displayed in it. The array must be ended with a -1 value. NOTE The returned array is always the same : it's its contents which change. You can set your own array or modify the returned one and set it, both is ok. In future it will be possible to have <-1 values for hidden columns (it's not yet implemented but you should skip those values).

EXAMPLES See NList-Demo program. SEE ALSO MUIA_NList_CompareHook NList.mcc/MUIA_NList_ConstructHook NAME MUIA_NList_ConstructHook -- [IS.], struct Hook * FUNCTION Same function as List.mui/MUIA_List_ConstructHook. Think to finish lines entries on a \0 , \n and \r. The list will not display anything which come after a \n , \r or \0, so finish lines entries on a \0, \r and \n if you dont want to waste memory. SPECIAL INPUTS MUIV_NList_ConstructHook_String It's a builtin hook that copy a string entry. (so original string can be trash after) you must set MUIV_NList_DestructHook_String too if you use it. SEE ALSO MUIA_NList_DestructHook, MUIA_NList_DisplayHook NList.mcc/MUIA_NList_ConstructHook2 NAME MUIA_NList_ConstructHook2 -- [IS.], struct Hook * FUNCTION Same function as MUIA_NList_ConstructHook but A2 will be the object and A1 a NList_ConstructMessage struct pointer. SEE ALSO MUIA_NList_ConstructHook NList.mcc/MUIA_NList_CopyColumnToClipHook NAME MUIA_NList_CopyColumnToClipHook -- [IS.], struct Hook * FUNCTION This hook will be called while a MUIM_NList_CopyToClip for each column string. You'll certainly get in entry a string given by your own MUIA_NList_DisplayHook/2, so you must not use the same buffer for both ! You'll get the entry num in -1 element of the given array, elements 1 and 2 are the positions of the first selected char and the last+1. You must return the pointer of the string to copy to clipboard in element 0, a the string length in element 1. The builtin hook skip all ESC chars plus their next char (and [...] for ESC-P, ESC-I, ESC-O and ESC-o), and add a tab char between columns.

SEE ALSO MUIA_NList_CopyColumnToClipHook NList.mcc/MUIA_NList_CopyEntryToClipHook NAME MUIA_NList_CopyEntryToClipHook -- [IS.], struct Hook * FUNCTION This work near like MUIA_NList_DisplayHook, execpt that it is not called when the NList object want to display its lines but when it want to copy them to clipboard (or other). See MUIM_NList_CopyToClip. You can return only one string pointer (only one column for copy), as element 0 of the array. The -1 element is the entry number only when you don't give a entry pointer to NList_CopyToClip method, else it's -1. Elements 1,2,3 and 4 of the given array are first column/pos and last column/pos which are selected. Elements 5 and 6 are 2, 1 or 0 when the 1th and 3rd pos are in the format preparse string, the special entry preparse string or in the normal string for that entry/columns. For column, -1 is the first and -2 the last, else it's its number. This is the number of displayed columns and not the corresponding entry in the array return by DisplayHook. Anyway, positions are calculated from strings returned by DisplayHook. For pos, -1 is left of column and -2 its end. The last pos should not be included. You should use MUIA_NList_CopyColumnToClipHook unless you don't want to be copied what is seen in the list.

SEE ALSO MUIA_NList_CopyEntryToClipHook NList.mcc/MUIA_NList_DefaultObjectOnClick NAME MUIA_NList_DefaultObjectOnClick -- [IS.], BOOL FUNCTION If set to TRUE, the NList object will become the MUIA_Window_DefaultObject of its window when you click on it, so the user will be able to control the list with keys. The MUIA_Window_ActiveObject will be set to None, unless the current active object is the NList one itself or if it's the MUIA_NList_KeepActive one. There is a special meaning if you use both DefaultObjectOnClick and MUIA_NList_MakeActive. (see MUIA_NList_MakeActive) DEFAULT TRUE SEE ALSO MUIA_NList_KeepActive,MUIA_NList_MakeActive NList.mcc/MUIA_NList_DefClickColumn NAME MUIA_NList_DefClickColumn -- [ISG], LONG FUNCTION Same function as Listview.mui/MUIA_Listview_DefClickColumn. SEE ALSO MUIA_Listview_DefClickColumn, MUIA_NList_ClickColumn NList.mcc/MUIA_NList_DestructHook NAME MUIA_NList_DestructHook -- [IS.], struct Hook * FUNCTION Same function as List.mui/MUIA_List_DestructHook. SPECIAL INPUTS MUIV_NList_DestructHook_String It's a builtin hook that free the string entry previously allocated and copied by the MUIV_NList_ConstructHook_String builtin hook. SEE ALSO MUIA_NList_ConstructHook, MUIA_NList_DisplayHook NList.mcc/MUIA_NList_DestructHook2 NAME MUIA_NList_DestructHook2 -- [IS.], struct Hook * FUNCTION Same function as MUIA_NList_DestructHook but A2 will be the object and A1 a NList_DestructMessage struct pointer. SEE ALSO MUIA_NList_DestructHook NList.mcc/MUIA_NList_DisplayHook NAME MUIA_NList_DisplayHook -- [IS.], struct Hook * FUNCTION Same function as List.mui/MUIA_List_DisplayHook. Do not modify the buffers you return in the hook anywhere else than in the hook when called by NList. (if you do so you MUST set MUIA_NList_DisplayRecall) You should return the same thing if its called another time with the same inputs ! The hook will be called with a pointer to the entry to be displayed in A1 and a pointer to a string array containing as many entries as your list may have cols in A2. You must fill this array with the strings that you want to display. The array is DISPLAY_ARRAY_MAX*2 large. In the DISPLAY_ARRAY_MAX+col element you can set a preparse string for the corresponding col element. Using it you'll be able to avoid copying the string in a buffer to add something in the beginning of the col string. The display hook also gets the position of the current entry as additional parameter. It is stored in the longword preceding the col array (don't forget it's a LONG). (setting that LONG value to -2 is another way to tell the object to not consider the return string pointeur as valid next time he will want to use it, and he will recall the hook). When the hook function will be called to get the title strings, you'll get NULL in A1, and -1 as position of current entry. The hook function will be called each time a line (or a part of it) need to be drawn (and when NList need to compute lenght of columns contents). Here are the escape sequence known by the parsing of NList : (If you use C, ESC b can be written "\033b") \t Tabulation. Go to the next tab boundary of the col. tab positions are separated by 8 spaces by default. ESC - Disable text engine, following chars will be printed without further parsing. ESC u Set the soft style to underline. ESC b Set the soft style to bold. ESC i Set the soft style to italic. ESC n Set the soft style back to normal. ESC <n> Use pen number n (2..9) as front pen. n must be a valid DrawInfo pen as specified in "intuition/screens.h". ESC c Center current line. only valid at the beginning. ESC r Right justify current line. only valid at the beginning. ESC l Left justify current line. only valid at the beginning. These ones are new or modified : ESC j Justify left and right current line. only at beginning. ESC I[<s>] (ESC I[<s>|<width>|<height>,<minwidth>]) Draw MUI image with specification <s>. See Image.mui/MUIA_Image_Spec for image spec definition. <width> and <height> should be omited because NList draw the image to its standard size himself now. ESC O[<p>] (ESC O[<s>|<width>|<height>,<minwidth>]) Draw the MUIM_NList_CreateImage at adress <p>. (<p> should be an 8 hex digits number). ESC o[<n>] (ESC o[<s>|<width>|<height>,<minwidth>]) Draw the MUIM_NList_UseImage number <n>. If the <n> UseImage don't exist or has been set to NULL, no image is drawn. ESC P[] Use default front pen. ESC P[<n>] Use pen number <n>. (it's a direct pen number, so you must make MUI_ObtainPen and MUI_ReleasePen for it yourself, best to do it is in Setup() and Cleanup() of a subclass). ESC T Draw horizontal line on top of the entry for the col. ESC C Draw horizontal line centered in the entry for the col. ESC B Draw horizontal line on bottom of the entry for the col. ESC E Draw horizontal line centered in the entry for the col, but only on the left and right of the line contents. ESC t , ESC t[<n>] , ESC t[M<n>] , ESC t[I<n>] Make the ESC C and ESC E horizontal line become thick and filled with some color : default is MPEN_FILL. [<n>] means than <n> is a direct pen color, like for ESC P[<n>] [M<n>] means that <n> is MUI pen color number (MPEN_xxx ie 0..8) [I<n>] means that <n> is Intuition dri pen number 0..11 (see "intuition/screens.h") ESC t[N], ESC t[N<n>], ESC t[NM<n>], ESC t[NI<n>] Make the ESC T, ESC C,ESC B, ESC E become a single black line, or not black when using a <n>, M<n> or I<n> pen color. ('N' is for Not thick ;) with ESC O[] and ESC o[], you can add [...@<n>] which will make the image/object act as a relverify button. When this "button" is released NList will notify MUIA_NList_ButtonClick with the value <n>. with ESC I[], ESC O[] and ESC o[], you can add [...|<width>] or [...|<width>|<height>] or [...|<width>|<height>,<minwidth>] or [...,<minwidth>] where : <width> will be the width in pixels of the image/object. -1 means default image width unless <minwidth> is set. 0 means default image width. <height> will be the height in pixels of the image/object. -1 means default image height (entry height is max). 0 means entry height. <minwidth> will be the min width in pixels before the next char/string/image. when present, default height become entry height and width become minwidth (if minwdith is bigger than image default width), unless you set <width> and/or <height>. <minwidth> <width> and <height> must be a decimal number (%ld).

Else the color is forced only at the beginning of the area and can be changed by text escape sequences. The default is set by the user in the pref .mcp class. Getting in will give its current value. NList.mcc/MUIA_NList_Format NAME MUIA_NList_Format -- [ISG], STRPTR FUNCTION NList is able to handle multi column lists. To define how many columns should be displayed and how they should be formatted, you specify a format string. This format string must contain one entry for each column you want to see. Entries are seperated by commas, one entry is parsed via dos.library/ReadArgs(). The template for a single entry looks like this: DELTA=D/N,PREPARSE=P/K,COL=C/N,BAR/S,TBAR/S,NOBAR=NB/S, SIMPLEBAR=SBAR/S,NOTITLEBUTTON=NOTB/S, WEIGHT=W/N,MINWIDTH=MIW/N,MAXWIDTH=MAW/N, COLWIDTH=CW/N,MINCOLWIDTH=MICW/N,MAXCOLWIDTH=MACW/N, PIXWIDTH=PW/N,MINPIXWIDTH=MIPW/N,MAXPIXWIDTH=MAPW/N First ones are like (or nearly) MUIA_List_Format ones : DELTA Space in pixel between this column and the next. the last displayed column ignores this setting. Defaults to 4. PREPARSE A preparse string for this column. COL This value adjusts the col number of the current column. Defaults to current column number (0,1,...) You can't use identical COL values for 2 or more columns. BAR Will draw a vertical bar between this and the next column. WEIGHT The weight of the column. As for MUI's group. MINWIDTH Minimum percentage of the list width for the current column. MAXWIDTH Maximum percentage of the list width for the current column. These are new ones : TBAR Will draw a vertical bar between this and the next column but only in the title (ignored if BAR is set). THIS IS A DEFAULT ! NOBAR Don't draw a vertical bar between this and the next column at all. SIMPLEBAR Make te vertical bar a simple black one. NOTITLEBUTTON Will prevent the title of the column to act as a relverify button when you set MUIA_NList_TitleClick (or make a notify on it). COLWIDTH Wanted number of chars for the current column. You will get as PIXWIDTH with number*font_with. Possibly more than number chars will fit in the column if you use proportional font, anyway you are sure than number non italic chars will fit. MINCOLWIDTH Minimum number of chars for the current column. MAXCOLWIDTH Maximum number of chars for the current column. PIXWIDTH Wanted number of chars for the current column. MINPIXWIDTH Minimum number of chars for the current column. MAXPIXWIDTH Maximum number of chars for the current column. Note: You will have as many columns in your list as entries in the format string (i.e. number of commas + 1). Empty entries, e.g. with a format string of ",,,," are perfectly ok. MINPIXWIDTH, MAXPIXWIDTH, MINCOLWIDTH, MAXCOLWIDTH, MINWIDTH and MAXWIDTH will not be used if PIXWIDTH, or COLWIDTH is used. Only one of PIXWIDTH, COLWIDTH and WEIGHT will be used, the first find in this order. Biggest of MINPIXWIDTH, MINCOLWIDTH and MINWIDTH. Smallest of MAXPIXWIDTH, MAXCOLWIDTH and MAXWIDTH. If the min is bigger than the max the min will be used. You shoul used PIX ones only for columns with images, and COL ones when you want to be sure to get as many chars you want. All chars/images will be drawn for the last column always, you should specify some width for it anyway as it will be used for centered and right aligned texts ! Default values : WEIGHT=-1, MINWIDTH=5, MAXWIDTH=10000. Use MINWIDTH=0 if you don't use PIXWIDTH or COLWIDTH and don't want any min value. If you want to use WEIGHT values as percentage of the list width, just choose them to have their total being 100. WEIGHT = -1 mean that you want the column to have the width of the largest entry's column contents. MINWIDTH = -1 have the same meaning as for WEIGHT but for the min value. Default will be 100 for the last column, set it to -1 or -2 if you want to force it when more than one column, and to -2 to force it when only one column. Be aware that it can take long time to do that when there are many entries since this need a call to the dislpayhook, parse and find real length of all entries. Anyway using such stuff for one or more column has the same overhead. The default list format is an empty string (""), this means a one column list without special formatting. NOTE Actually MUIA_NList_Format will not try to see if the new format is similar to previous one. It means that all column width will be re-computed (and all entries parsed if WEIGHT or MINWIDTH is -1), same for wrapping which will be recomputed for all entries. So, it's better to do it before inserting entries if you want to do both. If you want to clear, insert, and set the format, the best is to set the format after the clear (fastest, no entry to parse) and before the insert. BUGS (FEATURE) Currently there is a maximum of 64 columns for a list. SEE ALSO MUIA_NList_DisplayHook, MUIA_NList_TitleSeparator.

If you ask for a notify on that tag, or if you set it (with any value) the title will act as if each of its column titles were separated buttons, notifying that tag when there are released. The (released) look for those title "buttons" will be better if you use MUIA_NList_TitleSeparator and BAR or TBAR for each column in the MUIA_NList_Format string.

MUIV_NList_ContextMenu_Never never, repaced by NULL after. when using MUIV_NList_ContextMenu_TopOnly NList will set MUIA_ContextMenu NULL/non-NULL when the mouse move, which should permit to have the window menu avaible when the contents menu is not visible. Anyway actually (MUI 3.8) MUI has a bug/feature which make the MUIA_ContextMenu being looked at only when the mouse *enter* within the object bounds. MUIV_NList_ContextMenu_TopOnly stuff will be nicer when that MUI problem is fixed... Of course if you want NList to do what has to be done when a menu item has been selected, your MUIM_ContextMenuChoice should call the supermethod. INPUTS (for MUIM_NList_ContextMenuBuild) mx current mouse x. my current mouse y. pos entry number returned by NList_TestPos. column column returned by NList_TestPos. flags flags returned by NList_TestPos. ontop TRUE if mouse is on title/top of the list. RESULT NULL, -1 or a menustrip object. EXEMPLES To make a ContextMenu but have the NList one appear when the mouse in on title/top, just set MUIA_ContextMenu,MUIV_NList_ContextMenu_Always and make MUIM_NList_ContextMenuBuild return NULL when ontop in TRUE (else return your menustrip object). Call MUIM_ContextMenuChoice supermethod too. To make your own context menu which have the same menuitems as ones in NList context menu, set MUIA_ContextMenu,MUIV_NList_ContextMenu_Always and make MUIM_NList_ContextMenuBuild return always your menustrip object. Make 4 menuitems in your menustrip object which will be like these : { NM_ITEM , "Default Width: this" , 0 ,0 ,0 ,(APTR) MUIV_NList_Menu_DefWidth_This }, { NM_ITEM , "Default Width: all" , 0 ,0 ,0 ,(APTR) MUIV_NList_Menu_DefWidth_All }, { NM_ITEM , "Default Order: this" , 0 ,0 ,0 ,(APTR) MUIV_NList_Menu_DefOrder_This }, { NM_ITEM , "Default Order: all" , 0 ,0 ,0 ,(APTR) MUIV_NList_Menu_DefOrder_All }, They will be automatically enabled/disabled as needed by NList :) Call MUIM_ContextMenuChoice supermethod too.

SEE ALSO MUIA_NList_CopyToClipHook, MUIA_NList_CopyToClip_Key, MUIM_NList_CopyTo NList.mcc/MUIM_NList_CreateImage NAME MUIM_NList_CreateImage -- SYNOPSIS DoMethod(obj,MUIM_NList_CreateImage,Object *imgobj, ULONG flags); FUNCTION Same function as List.mui/MUIM_List_CreateImage. Any transparent color in the source Bitmap/Bodychunk object will work (except if flags is ~0L). You must use MUIM_NList_CreateImage in Setup() or after and MUIM_NList_DeleteImage in Cleanup() or before, because the mri of the NList object must be valid. Setup() and Cleanup() are the best because MUI_ObtainPen() and MUI_ReleasePen() are used, and then pens will be released while iconification and will be re-obtained if the screen change. Take a look at MUIM_NList_UseImage which is far easier to use. Standard flags value is 0. If flags is ~0L then FillArea will not be set to FALSE on the object (for any other value, FillArea is set to FALSE) If flags is ~0L for a Bitmap/Bodychunk then it will be really the given object which will be drawn, as for non Bitmap/Bodychunk objects. The imgobj can (nearly) be any object, but take care of that : - the object should not test and use user inputs, the object should just be able to draw itself within the _left(obj), _top(obj), _width(obj) and height(obj) it will have when its Draw method is called. - the object class MUST NOT be Group or subclass of it. - the given imgobj must not be attached to any group object anywhere else, because a ADDMEMBER will be done with it. - Each imgobj can be used with one and only one NList object. - you can use the return pointer with ESC O[<ptr>] and ESC o[<num>]. - the object will receive two tags just before its Draw method will be called : set(imgobj,MUIA_NLIMG_EntryCurrent,current_entry_number) and set(imgobj,MUIA_NLIMG_EntryHeight,height_of_each_entry_of_the_list) which are usefull in some case to draw things (see demo example). - a new stuff is to use it with ESC O[<ptr>;<tag>;<value>], in that case a set(imgobj,tag,value) will be done just before drawing it, so you can make an object which will draw different things when that tag value is changed. Setting this tag MUST NOT make the object being redrawn !!! <tag> and <value> must both be in hexadecimal (%lx). - if you use ;<tag>;<value> in one ESC sequence for an imgobj, you should use it everywhere you use that imgobj because there is no default for it. - The imgobj height will always be set to the entries height. - The mindefheight of imgobj will become the min height for entries. - Think it's still a new testing stuff... Note: Previously the object was disposed by NList at its end, actually a call to MUIM_NList_DeleteImage will REMMEMBER it, and so you have to dispose it yourself after ! Look the demo program to see a way to use it... RESULT The result you get is a struct BitMapImage pointer which will exist between the MUIM_NList_CreateImage and MUIM_NList_DeleteImage, with a valid bitmap, width and height for the current screen. If you use it for a non Bitmap/Bodychunk object (or with flags set to ~0L) then the mask and imgbmp fields of the returned struct BitMapImage are not valid, and obtainpens is a pointer to the object. The only thing you should do with it is to include it in \33O[%08lx]. The result may be NULL in which case NList was unable to create the image, but the \33O[] combination simply draws nothing when receiving a NULL. ATTENTION: The returned pointer doesn't give the same structure than MUIM_List_CreateImage (in standard List class) would do : both are not compatible at all !

You can make you own *type value as soon as you don't set it in MUIV_NList_DropType_Mask, and so draw what you want depending on that value in the MUIM_NList_DropDraw method. Note that any MUIV_NList_DropType_Below *type will be changed to MUIV_NList_DropType_Above with a *pos incremented by 1 just after the return of that method. If you change the *pos, the list will be scrolled to see it (if the value is correct). getting MUIA_NList_DropType or MUIA_NList_DropMark will return the same values as *pos and *type.

SEE ALSO MUIM_NList_RedrawEntry NList.mcc/MUIM_NList_RedrawEntry NAME MUIM_NList_RedrawEntry -- SYNOPSIS DoMethod(obj,MUIM_NList_RedrawEntry,APTR entry); FUNCTION Redraw some entry, like MUIM_NList_Redraw, but using the entry pointer instead of the entry number. INPUTS entry - Entry ptr of the entry (entries) you want to be redraw. SEE ALSO MUIM_NList_Redraw NList.mcc/MUIM_NList_Remove NAME MUIM_NList_Remove -- SYNOPSIS DoMethod(obj,MUIM_NList_Remove,LONG pos); FUNCTION Same function as List.mui/MUIM_List_Remove. INPUTS pos - number of the entry to be removed or one of MUIV_NList_Remove_First MUIV_NList_Remove_Active MUIV_NList_Remove_Selected MUIV_NList_Remove_Last When the active or a selected entry is removed, the following entry will become active. When the active is the removed and is the last, the new last become active.

It's better to do a direct replace than remove then insert it ! INPUTS entry - item to insert. pos - New entry will be added in front of this entry. MUIV_NList_Insert_Top insert as first entry. MUIV_NList_Insert_Active insert in front of the active entry. MUIV_NList_Insert_Sorted insert sorted (all entries will be sorted if necessary). MUIV_NList_Insert_Bottom insert as last entry. wrapcol - WRAPCOL0 to WRAPCOL6. You can't ask word wrap for an other col. NOWRAP if you don't want word wrap. So only one of (display hook) col 0 to 6 can be wrapped. align - ALIGN_LEFT, ALIGN_CENTER, ALIGN_RIGHT or ALIGN_JUSTIFY. be aware that align will be used if there is no escape align sequence in the preparses or column entry string.

In TypeSelect_Char mode, MUIV_NList_Select_Off will clear the selected area (don't look what is pos). MUIV_NList_Select_On will select the pos entry only (can be MUIV_NList_Select_Active or MUIV_NList_Select_All). MUIV_NList_Select_Ask will give the number off entry in the selected area. INPUTS pos - Number of the entry or MUIV_NList_Select_Active for the active entry. MUIV_NList_Select_All for all entries. seltype - MUIV_NList_Select_Off unselect entry. MUIV_NList_Select_On select entry. MUIV_NList_Select_Toggle toggle entry. MUIV_NList_Select_Ask just ask about the state. state - Pointer to a longword. If not NULL, this will be filled with the current selection state.

It is really usefull only if you use MUIA_NList_CompareHook2 instead of classic MUIA_NList_CompareHook so your hook will be able to do different type of sort when NList_SortType change. INPUTS sort_type - The new MUIA_NList_SortType value (see below). sort_type_add - If 0 then sort_type will be the new MUIA_NList_SortType, else if current MUIA_NList_SortType & MUIV_NList_SortTypeValue_Mask is same as sort_type then sort_type_add will be added to the MUIA_NList_SortType value, else sort_type will be the new MUIA_NList_SortType. See examples for special values. EXAMPLES Many times this method will be used to sort multicolumn list in different ways when the user click on title buttons : DoMethod(list,MUIM_Notify,MUIA_NList_TitleClick, MUIV_EveryTime, list, 3, MUIM_NList_Sort2, MUIV_TriggerValue, MUIV_NList_SortTypeAdd_xxx); if MUIV_NList_SortTypeAdd_None then the hook sort_type value will be the column number. if MUIV_NList_SortTypeAdd_2Values then the hook sort_type value will be a cycle of values which change on each click : o Column number (first time) o Column number + MUIV_NList_SortTypeAdd_2Values o back to column number ... if MUIV_NList_SortTypeAdd_4Values then the hook sort_type value will be a cycle of values which change on each click : o Column number (first time) o Column number + MUIV_NList_SortTypeAdd_4Values o Column number + MUIV_NList_SortTypeAdd_4Values*2 o Column number + MUIV_NList_SortTypeAdd_4Values*3 o back to column number ...

When using MUIV_NList_Sort3_SortType_Both the method will change MUIA_NList_SortType exactly the same way as MUIM_NList_Sort2 would do it, then copy that value to MUIA_NList_SortType2. It is really usefull only if you use MUIA_NList_CompareHook2 instead of classic MUIA_NList_CompareHook so your hook will be able to do different type of sort when NList_SortType change. INPUTS sort_type - The new MUIA_NList_SortType/2 value. sort_type_add - If 0 then sort_type will be the new MUIA_NList_SortType/2, else if current MUIA_NList_SortType/2 & MUIV_NList_SortTypeValue_Mask is same as sort_type then sort_type_add will be added to the MUIA_NList_SortType/2 value, else sort_type will be the new MUIA_NList_SortType/2. which - MUIV_NList_Sort3_SortType_1 set MUIA_NList_SortType value. MUIV_NList_Sort3_SortType_2 set MUIA_NList_SortType2 value. MUIV_NList_Sort3_SortType_Both set MUIA_NList_SortType value then copy it to MUIA_NList_SortType2. EXAMPLES See NList-Demo program.

You must give a pointer to a valid MUI_NList_TestPos_Result struct. Set x AND y to MUI_MAXMAX to get infos about the last click position ! See NList_mcc.h to know what values will be set in the struct. Preset char_number to -2 in the struct to not get char_number and char_xoffset informations. It's usefull if you don't need them because it will be faster for the method without finding them. the -2 value will stay valid for next call. You'll get char number from what you return from the DisplayHook if there is one, else from the beginning of the string/entry ptr. Be aware: if you use MUIM_List_TestPos you have to give a pointer to a struct MUI_List_TestPos_Result, and you'll get same infos as using a List object. It wasn't done as is before, makeing enforcer hits when trying to use NList or NFloattext with a Listview instead of a NListview (avoid it please, it's not done for it as Listview try to make many things itself, with possible conficts), because struct MUI_NList_TestPos_Result is bigger !!! NOTE column in the struct MUI_NList_TestPos_Result is the visible column number ! NList.mcc/MUIM_NList_UseImage NAME MUIM_NList_UseImage -- SYNOPSIS DoMethod(obj,MUIM_NList_UseImage,Object *obj, ULONG imgnum, ULONG flags); FUNCTION If you want to use MUIM_NList_CreateImage/MUIM_NList_DeleteImage as you should, you must make a NList subclass which call them from Setup() and Cleanup(), and it's sometime complicated. To avoid that, you can use MUIM_NList_UseImage. NList will store the Bitmap/Bodychunk object you give and will make CreateImage and DeleteImage itself ! MUIM_NList_UseImage can use same object as MUIM_NList_CreateImage ! NULL is a valid obj. It will erase any previously UseImage with the same imgnum. The imgnum you give is the number that you will use in \33o[<n>] sequence as the <n> number. MUIM_NList_UseImage will accept 0 <= imgnum < 8192, anyway use small value if you can because an array will be allocated with the biggest imgnum value as size to store the Bitmap/Bodychunk objects. DoMethod(obj,MUIM_NList_UseImage,NULL, -1, 0) will set NULL to all stored objects, so you'll be able to dispose your Bitmap/Bodychunk objects if you want, without waiting the NList objet dispose. flags is the same than for MUIM_NList_CreateImage (0 unless special case). RESULT TRUE if succeeded to store the obj (and allocate the array if needed), else FALSE. There is no way to know if the MUIM_NList_CreateImage needed to draw will succeed/has succeeded. ATTENTION: The given Bitmap/Bodychunk object MUST be valid until the NList object is disposed or you set another object (or NULL) at the same imgnum ! The Bitmap/Bodychunk object can be shared with other NList object because NList just use it to get informations, anyway you mustn't change informations of that object. If you to do so, do a UseImage,NULL,x , change it then do UseImage,imgobj,x again. SEE ALSO MUIM_NList_CreateImage, MUIM_NList_DeleteImage
