How to get the ListView handle from Header event using WinApi
To obtain the handle of a ListView control from a Header control event using the WinAPI, you can follow these steps:
Retrieve the header control handle: When handling the Header control event, you will have the handle of the Header control available. Let's assume you have this handle stored in a variable called
hHeader
.Get the parent window handle: Use the
GetParent
function from the WinAPI to obtain the handle of the parent window that contains the ListView control. Pass thehHeader
handle toGetParent
to retrieve the parent window handle. Let's assume you store this handle in a variable calledhParentWindow
.
cppHWND hParentWindow = GetParent(hHeader);
- Find the ListView control within the parent window: Once you have the parent window handle, you can use the
FindWindowEx
function to find the ListView control within the parent window. Pass thehParentWindow
handle and the appropriate class or control identifier for the ListView control toFindWindowEx
. Let's assume you store the ListView control handle in a variable calledhListView
.
cppHWND hListView = FindWindowEx(hParentWindow, NULL, WC_LISTVIEW, NULL);
Here, WC_LISTVIEW
is the class name for the ListView control. If you have a custom class name or identifier for the ListView control, replace WC_LISTVIEW
with the appropriate value.
Now, you have the handle of the ListView control (hListView
) obtained from the Header control event using the WinAPI.
Note: The code provided is in C++. If you are using a different programming language, you will need to use the corresponding language bindings or libraries to call the WinAPI functions.
