ListView_GetNextItemIndex macro (commctrl.h)

  • Article

Gets the index of the item in a particular list-view control that has the specified properties and relationship to another specific item. Use this macro or send the LVM_GETNEXTITEMINDEX message explicitly.

Syntax

BOOL ListView_GetNextItemIndex(
  [in]      HWND        hwnd,
  [in, out] LVITEMINDEX *plvii,
            LPARAM      flags
);

Parameters

[in] hwnd

Type: HWND

A handle to the list-view control.

[in, out] plvii

Type: LVITEMINDEX*

A pointer to the LVITEMINDEX structure with which the item begins the search, or -1 to find the first item that matches the specified flags. The calling process is responsible for allocating this structure and setting its members.

flags

Type: LPARAM

The relationship to the item specified in parameter plvii. This can be one or a combination of the following values:

Value Meaning
Searches by index.
LVNI_ALL
 Searches for a subsequent item by index, the default value.
Searches by physical relationship to the index of the item where the search is to begin.
LVNI_ABOVE
 Searches for an item that is above the specified item.
LVNI_BELOW
 Searches for an item that is below the specified item.
LVNI_TOLEFT
 Searches for an item to the left of the specified item.
LVNI_PREVIOUS
 Windows Vista and later: Searches for the item that is previous to the specified item. The LVNI_PREVIOUS flag is not directional (LVNI_ABOVE will find the item positioned above, while LVNI_PREVIOUS will find the item ordered before.) The LVNI_PREVIOUS flag essentially reverses the logic of the search performed via the LVM_GETNEXTITEM or LVM_GETNEXTITEMINDEX messages.
LVNI_TORIGHT
 Searches for an item to the right of the specified item.
LVNI_DIRECTIONMASK
 Windows Vista and later: A directional flag mask with value as follows: LVNI_ABOVE | LVNI_BELOW | LVNI_TOLEFT | LVNI_TORIGHT.
The state of the item to find can be specified with one or a combination of the following values:
LVNI_CUT
 The item has the LVIS_CUT state flag set.
LVNI_DROPHILITED
 The item has the LVIS_DROPHILITED state flag set
LVNI_FOCUSED
 The item has the LVIS_FOCUSED state flag set.
LVNI_SELECTED
 The item has the LVIS_SELECTED state flag set.
LVNI_STATEMASK
 Windows Vista and later: A state flag mask with value as follows: LVNI_FOCUSED | LVNI_SELECTED | LVNI_CUT | LVNI_DROPHILITED.
Searches by appearance of items or by group.
LVNI_VISIBLEORDER
 Windows Vista and later: Search the visible order.
LVNI_VISIBLEONLY
 Windows Vista and later: Search the visible items.
LVNI_SAMEGROUPONLY
 Windows Vista and later: Search the current group.
If an item does not have all of the specified state flags set, the search continues with the next item.

Return value

Type: BOOL

Returns TRUE if successful, or FALSE otherwise.

Remarks

Note that the following flags, for use only with Windows Vista, are mutually exclusive of any other flags in use: LVNI_PREVIOUS, LVNI_VISIBLEONLY, LVNI_SAMEGROUPONLY, LVNI_VISIBLEORDER, LVNI_DIRECTIONMASK, and LVNI_STATEMASK.
