Edit label in virtual listctrl

Desktop wxRuby
1

Hi,

I am testing a virtual listctrl, and have run into some problems with
changing the labels in it.

The listctrl shows a bunch of rows and columns, and it gets activate
events whenever I doubleclick on a cell. Works like a charm.

My problem comes when I call the edit_label method, specifically that I
think that I don’t quite understand the argument passed to it (item as
integer). This would seem to be the row, and when passed a row number,
the edit control shows up just fine, for the first column. How would I
go about to specifiy a label in another column?

Thanks,
Magnus Engström

I was a bit surprised to find that editing a second column label is not
supported in wxWidgets, because the Windows native control doesn’t allow
that:

You could try using a Wx::Grid, or perhaps capturing evt_list_dclick,
and draw a TextCtrl yourself on top of the ListItem.

Ah, Wx::Grid looks nice. Thanks.
