LC_REPORT ListCtrl Confusion

Desktop wxRuby
1

Hi,
I’m having some trouble allowing the user to edit a multi-column
listctrl. I can do the first column fine, simply by calling
ListCtrl::edit_label in the activate event, but it seems impossible to
do this for the other columns for two reasons. 1, the activate event
doesn’t allow you to get the column, and 2, edit_label onl;y works for
the first column.

Thanks,
Lucas

I can’t find a reference right now, but I have a feeling that only the
first column is editable - I think because not all the native controls
support editing of secondary columns.

You might look into Wx::Grid, which does support this. Its appearance is
highly customisable so you could make it look more like a ListCtrl if
you wished.
