lvsExtendedStyle values?

[jimspoon]

Anybody have the values for lvsExtendedStyle? It controls quite a few things like tooltips, gridlines, etc. as indicated in alpha.txt. Nikos said in a post here that the values can be found in commctrl.h but I don't have that file on my system.

unfortunately you'd have to be a developer and have this file as part of the C++ SDK

here's the description (but no actual values):

anyway, as i recommend in alpha.txt, you can use 2xExplorer to set whatever values you want (View | Options | Usability), quit 2x and read the value from its lvsExtendedStyle in the registry; then you use the same value for x2 for the same effect

if that doesn't help then i'll give you all the numbers
but soon there's going to be GUI to set all these things directly in x2

Plus ... vserghi's the expert on this for x2 {besides nikos}.
Here's a summary of his from another forum:

Here is a conversion to decimal, the first number is decimal the second hex;

GRIDLINES: 1dec, 1hex
TRACKSELECT: 8dec, 8hex
HEADERDRAGDROP: 16dec, 10hex
FULLROWSELECT: 32dec, 20hex
ONECLICKACTIVATE: 64dec, 40hex
TWOCLICKACTIVATE: 128dec, 80hex
INFOTIP: 1024dec, 400hex
UNDERLINEHOT: 2048dec, 800hex
UNDERLINECOLD: 4096dec, 1000hex
LABELTIP: 16384dec, 4000hex

Choose your options and sum up the values asscociated with that option e.g.
Lets say you want GRIDLINES, FULLROWSELECT, INFOTIP and LABELTIP, then add togther;
in dec: 1 + 32 + 1024 + 16384 = 17441
in hex: 1 + 20 + 400 + 4000 = 4421

or INFOTIP and LABELTIP;
in dec: 1024 + 16384 = 17408
in hex: 400 + 4000 = 4400

Copy the number into "lvsExtendedStyle", making sure the number convention matches your method of calculation!!

You can also decode what you have already in the registry by reversing what I did above.
