I've been working on the Win32 version of a data_view, and I have this to say: the API for the ListView control is extremely badly designed. I knew this from back when I was writing MFC apps, but having to look at it at this level of detail has been an eye-opener. It looks like something a 12-year-old would design. Seriously. It's bad even by Microsoft's standards. Anybody know who was responsible for this abortion? Maybe I'll pay him a visit and kick his ass. Apart from that, it's also totally inflexible. I'm beginning to believe I'll have to write a custom control to get what I want. |
