create single number type list box at runtime

[amipatel]

Hi

i try to create listbox on empty container at runtime.
but nothing is displays.

mu code is

void CList::InitializeControlsL()
	{
	// listbox instance
	CEikColumnListBox* list = new (ELeave) CAknSingleNumberStyleListBox;
	// construct listbox
	list->ConstructL(this);
	// set container control
	list->SetContainerWindowL(*this);
	// add scrollbars to listbox
	list->CreateScrollBarFrameL(ETrue);
	list->ScrollBarFrame()->SetScrollBarVisibilityL(CEikScrollBarFrame::EOn,CEikScrollBarFrame::EAuto );
	CDesCArray *itemList = new (ELeave) CDesCArrayFlat(1);
	TBuf<32> item;
	_LIT(KListItemFormat, "1/tfirst/t");
	item.Format(KListItemFormat);
	itemList->AppendL(item); 
	list->Model()->SetItemTextArray(itemList);
	list->Model()->SetOwnershipType(ELbmOwnsItemArray);
	list->HandleItemAdditionL();
	}

is there anything which i missed out?
Thank you

Your CList class needs to have a CreateWindow() call somewhere so the compound container control has a real window to draw on.
Do not use forward slashes in place of backslashes, backslash has a special meaning in C/C++.

try somthing lik this::

iListBox=new (ELeave)CAknDoubleStyleListBox ;//CAknSingleNumberStyleListBox();
iListBox->SetContainerWindowL(*this);
// iCallProfileListBox->ConstructL(this,EAknListBoxMultiselectionList);
TResourceReader reader;

CEikonEnv::Static()->CreateResourceReaderLC(reader,R_MARKABLELIST_LISTBOX);
iListBox->ConstructFromResourceL(reader);
iListBox->CreateScrollBarFrameL(ETrue);
iListBox->ScrollBarFrame()->SetScrollBarVisibilityL(CEikScrollBarFrame::EOn, CEikScrollBarFrame::EAuto);

CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(); // reader
// iListBox->ItemDrawer()->ColumnData()->SetIconArray(iconList);

listBoxItems=static_cast<CDesC16Array*>(iListBox->Model()->ItemTextArray());

Hi Paul

I have a CreateWindow() method called before InitializeControlsL(). still its not working.

Most noob errors are here:
Did you call ActivateL in your code.
Did you call SetRect in your container
Did you correctly implement CountComponentControls and ComponentControl?
Did you correctly implement SizeChanged?
Did you call SetCurrentItem?

I strongly recommend you start with a project that works and then work out what is different in yours.

There are listbox examples everywhere, FN, DiBo, Wiki.
My personal favourite is mine in http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...ad.php?t=92554, but there are numerous others, have you even considered searching?
