[Delphi]Read and Write: ListView

 

Hello everybody! “Quick Tips” On this I will show how we can read and write text in a “ListView” in a practical and fast.

Let's create a Form (save as uFrmPrincipal) and create it:

* 3 “TLabeledEdit” (EdtCode, EdtDescription, EdtValue);

* 3 “TBitBtn” (BtnSaveRegister, BtnDeleteRegister, BtnLoadRegister);

* 1 “TListView” (ListViewExample).

We will now configure the properties of “ListViewExample”.

 

Add 3 columns (Code, Description, Value):

Ø  Property - ViewStyle = vsReport;

Ø  Property - SortType = stText;

 

We can see the complete example:

 

Unit’s Implementation:

unit uFrmPrincipal;

interface 

uses

    Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms,

Dialogs, StdCtrls, ExtCtrls, ComCtrls, Buttons;

type

TFrmPrincipal = class(TForm)

    EdtCode: TLabeledEdit;

    EdtDescription: TLabeledEdit;

    EdtValue: TLabeledEdit;

    Panel1: TPanel;

    ListViewExemplo: TListView;

    BtnSaveRegister: TBitBtn;

    BtnDeleteRegister: TBitBtn;

    BtnLoadRegister: TBitBtn;

    procedure BtnSaveRegisterClick(Sender: TObject);

    procedure BtnDeleteRegisterClick(Sender: TObject);

    procedure BtnLoadRegisterClick(Sender: TObject);

  private

    { Private declarations }

public

    { Public declarations }

end;

var

    FrmPrincipal: TFrmPrincipal;

implementation

{$R *.dfm}

{Save Register in the ListView}

procedure TFrmPrincipal.BtnSaveRegisterClick(Sender: TObject);

Var

    Item: TListItem;

begin

    Item := ListViewExample.Items.Add;

    Item.Caption := EdtCode.Text;

    Item.SubItems.Add(EdtDescription.Text);

    Item.SubItems.Add(EdtValuer.Text);

    EdtCode.Clear;

    EdtDescription.Clear;

    EdtValue.Clear;

end;

 

{Delete Register of the ListView}

procedure TFrmPrincipal.BtnDeleteRegisterClick(Sender: TObject);

begin

    if ListViewExample.ItemIndex >= 0 then

        ListViewExample.DeleteSelected

    else

        ShowMessage('Select an item to delete');

end;

 

{Load Register of the ListView}

procedure TFrmPrincipal.BtnLoadRegisterClick(Sender: TObject);

begin

    if ListViewExample.ItemIndex >= 0 then

    begin

        EdtCode.Text := ListViewExample.ItemFocused.Caption;

        EdtDescription.Text := ListViewExample.ItemFocused.SubItems[0];

        EdtValue.Text := ListViewExample.ItemFocused.SubItems[1];

    end

    else

    ShowMessage('Could not select any item to load');

end;

end.

Until next Quick Tips.
