    <p>OK, so my Windows application involves a window that, among other things, has a list of objects in a pane. Each object has 8 boolean values that need to be determined — so I'd like a list of the objects, with eight columns of checkboxes after. I'm not using MFC, should that be relevant.</p> <p>ListView <em>looks</em> the way I want it to, but apparently it doesn't accept checkboxes in SubItems (the <code>LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES</code> style only gives each row a checkbox on the left).</p> <p>So what I need is some kind of alternative to ListView that <strong>does</strong> allow this. I've been looking, but nothing I've found seems to work. </p> <p>I have seen reference to some <code>DataGridView</code> control, but I don't see that as an option in my Visual Studio 2010 "toolbox" — how does one access it, is it even available for non-MFC C++ projects? Most references to it seem to be for VB or C#.</p> <p>Another thing I found is is this <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/list/ObjectListView.aspx" rel="nofollow" title="A Much Easier ListView">custom ListView</a>, but it, again, seems to be for C# and not C++. I'd certainly accept suggestions on how to use this resource in my code, if there's a simple way to interface with the C# dialogue (I'm completely unfamiliar with C#).</p> <p>Anyway, any thoughts, suggestions, or tips anyone has, would be most appreciated!</p> <p>EDIT: This should maybe go in a new question, but it doesn't really seem deserving an entire question on its own: MFC <em>seems</em> to have more support for this kind of thing (insofar as most of the custom controls I can find to download are for MFC). My project does not actually <strong>require</strong> being non-MFC, it just <strong>is</strong>, at the moment. How much work am I looking at to convert it?</p>

    1. CODataGridView is .net so you will not see it for any Win32 project, whether that's plain Win32 or MFC. It's likely you'll need some kind of custom control, finding a grid control might be the easiest as there are many of those around since they tend to be more flexible than just a listview. What UI toolkit are you using, if any? What are you looking in the VS toolbox for if you're not using MFC?

    2. COIn Visual Studio's "Resource View" I can make my window with a WYSIWYG editor; off on the right side there's a "Toolbox" that contains various controls I can drag and drop onto my window. This doesn't require MFC; I can just interact with it through the normal Windows message system. Anyway, does anyone know of a good grid control that's easy to use?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
