LVIS_FOCUSED and LVIS_SELECTED

[Valius]

I've got a really weird thing going on here....Based on an event that happens (a call comes in), I highlight that current call using:

MyListCtrl->SetItemState(0, LVIS_FOCUSED|LVIS_SELECTED, LVIS_FOCUSED|LVIS_SELECTED);

Well, when I check to see the state of the selected/focused item in my ListCtrl I get a 2 back for LVIS_SELECTED!!. I do get a 1 back for my LVIS_FOCUSED. Well, when I tell my app to pick up the call using MyListCtrl->GetSelectionMark(), it's not grabbin the right one eventhought I told it which call to selected and focus on. What does a 2 mean? a 1 sets the bits and a 0 clears the bits...right? How can I get it to actually SET it. I do have my ListCtrl to display the selected item at all times...could this be my problem? Any and all info is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.

hello,

If You Use GetItemState (nItem, nState, nStateMask) the return value is the state of the item / subitem. If you set the state LVIS_SELECTED | LVIS_FOCUSED you should get the value 3 (LVIS_SELECTED = 2 and LVIS_FOCUSED = 1). Use lvItem.State & LVIS_FOCUSED or lvItem.State & LVIS_SELECTED to see if the state is set.

SetItemState uses the second parameter (nState) as the value to be set. the nStateMask is used to indicate wich state to set it to. So
SetItemState (nItem, LVIS_SELECTED, LVIS_SELECTED), will add the selected state to the item.
SetItemState (nItem, LVIS_FOCUSED, LVIS_FOCUSED) will add the FOCUSED state.
