How to force change list view control to highlight icon background when an item is selected in report view?

thanks

Answer 1

You just draw the background + icon in CDDS_ITEMPOSTPAINT when the row is selected :

Answer 2

See if this is worth trying:

1- Derive a class from CListCtrl.

2- Include a data member of type CButton array, with as many elements as necessary for your view.

3- Let the CButton's C++ objects be created (but not the GDI objects).

4- Override the DrawItem() virtual function.

5- Every first time this override is called for each view's element, you, then, create the GDI object for this specific element (see 6 and 7).

6- Use the CListCtrl's window as CButton's parent window.

7- Once created never more let it be recreated.

8- Deal with button's click inside each CButton class.
