This structure contains information about an item in a header control. This structure has been updated to support header item images and order values.

typedefstruct_HDITEM{  UINTmask;  intcxy;  LPTSTRpszText;  HBITMAPhbm;  intcchTextMax;  intfmt;  LPARAMlParam;  intiImage;  intiOrder;}HDITEM;

Members

  • mask
    Unsigned integer that specifies which other structure members contain valid data or must be filled in. It can be a combination of the following values.

    Value Description
    HDI_BITMAP The hbm member is valid.
    HDI_FORMAT The fmt member is valid.
    HDI_HEIGHT The cxy member is valid and specifies the width of the item.
    HDI_IMAGE The iImage member is valid and specifies the image to be displayed with the item.
    HDI_LPARAM The lParam member is valid.
    HDI_ORDER The iOrder member is valid and specifies the item's order value.
    HDI_TEXT The pszText and cchTextMax members are valid.
    HDI_WIDTH The cxy member is valid and specifies the width of the item.
  • cxy
    Integer that contains the width of the item.

  • pszText
    Pointer to a null-terminated item string. If this member is set to LPSTR_TEXTCALLBACK, the control will request text information for this item by using HDN_GETDISPINFO messages.

  • hbm
    Handle to the item bitmap.

  • cchTextMax
    Integer that contains the length of the item string, in characters.

  • fmt
    Set of bit flags that specify the item's format.

    This member can include one of the following text justification or right-to-left (RTL) reading order bit flags.

    Value Description
    HDF_CENTER The item's contents are centered.
    HDF_LEFT The item's contents are left-aligned.
    HDF_RIGHT The item's contents are right-aligned.
    HDF_RTLREADING The header text will read in the opposite direction from the text in the parent window.
    Note   Typically, windows display text left-to-right (LTR). Windows can be mirrored to display languages such as Hebrew or Arabic that read right-to-left. Usually, header text is read in the same direction as the text in its parent window.

    The preceding flag is combined with one of the following flags.

    Value Description
    HDF_BITMAP The item displays a bitmap.
    HDF_BITMAP_ON_RIGHT The bitmap appears to the right of text. This does not affect an image from an image list assigned to the header item.
    HDF_OWNERDRAW The header control's owner draws the item.
    HDF_STRING The item displays a string.

    Additionally, the following flag can be combined with any of the preceding flags.

    Value Description
    HDF_IMAGE The item displays an image from an image list.
    You can use the HDF_JUSTIFYMASK mask to isolate the text justification portion of the fmt member.
  • lParam
    Application-defined item data.

  • iImage
    Integer that contains a zero-based index of an image within the image list. The specified image will be displayed in the header item, in addition to any image specified in the hbm member. If iImage is set to I_IMAGECALLBACK, the control requests text information for this item by using HDN_GETDISPINFO messages.

  • iOrder
    Integer that contains the order in which the item appears within the header control, from left to right. That is, the value for the far left item is 0. The value for the next item to the right is 1, and so on.

Remarks

The header control can display text, an image and a bitmap for an item all at the same time. The alignment flags determine the order in which they appear. With HDF_LEFT or HDF_CENTER, the order is image, text, and then bitmap. With HDF_RIGHT the order is bitmap, image and then text.

To define the dimensions of a header control, set the prc member of the HDLAYOUT structure to point to a RECT structure that contains the dimensions that you want to use. You can only change the width of the header control at runtime.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE 2.0 and later.
Header: Commctrl.h.
