LVHITTESTINFO structure

Contains information about a hit test. This structure has been extended to accommodate subitem hit-testing. It is used in association with the LVM_HITTEST and LVM_SUBITEMHITTEST messages and their related macros. This structure supersedes the LVHITTESTINFO structure.

Syntax

typedef struct _LVHITTESTINFO {
  POINT pt;
  UINT  flags;
  int   iItem;
  int   iSubItem;
  int   iGroup;
} LVHITTESTINFO, *LPLVHITTESTINFO;

Members

pt

Type: POINT

The position to hit test, in client coordinates.

flags

Type: UINT

The variable that receives information about the results of a hit test. This member can be one or more of the following values:

You can use LVHT_ABOVE, LVHT_BELOW, LVHT_TOLEFT, and LVHT_TORIGHT to determine whether to scroll the contents of a list-view control. Two of these values may be combined. For example, if the position is above and to the left of the client area, you could use both LVHT_ABOVE and LVHT_TOLEFT. 

You can test for LVHT_ONITEM to determine whether a specified position is over a list-view item. This value is a bitwise-OR operation on LVHT_ONITEMICON, LVHT_ONITEMLABEL, and LVHT_ONITEMSTATEICON.

Value	Meaning
LVHT_ABOVE	The position is above the control's client area.
LVHT_BELOW	The position is below the control's client area.
LVHT_NOWHERE	The position is inside the list-view control's client window, but it is not over a list item.
LVHT_ONITEMICON	The position is over a list-view item's icon.
LVHT_ONITEMLABEL	The position is over a list-view item's text.
LVHT_ONITEMSTATEICON	The position is over the state image of a list-view item.
LVHT_TOLEFT	The position is to the left of the list-view control's client area.
LVHT_TORIGHT	The position is to the right of the list-view control's client area.
LVHT_EX_GROUP_HEADER	Windows Vista. The point is within the group header.
LVHT_EX_GROUP_FOOTER	Windows Vista. The point is within the group footer.
LVHT_EX_GROUP_COLLAPSE	Windows Vista. The point is within the collapse/expand button of the group.
LVHT_EX_GROUP_BACKGROUND	Windows Vista. The point is within the area of the group where items are displayed.
LVHT_EX_GROUP_STATEICON	Windows Vista. The point is within the state icon of the group.
LVHT_EX_GROUP_SUBSETLINK	Windows Vista. The point is within the subset link of the group.
LVHT_EX_GROUP	Windows Vista. LVHT_EX_GROUP_BACKGROUND | LVHT_EX_GROUP_COLLAPSE | LVHT_EX_GROUP_FOOTER | LVHT_EX_GROUP_HEADER | LVHT_EX_GROUP_STATEICON | LVHT_EX_GROUP_SUBSETLINK.
LVHT_EX_ONCONTENTS	Windows Vista. The point is within the icon or text content of the item and not on the background.
LVHT_EX_FOOTER	Windows Vista. The point is within the footer of the list-view control.

 

iItem

Type: int

Receives the index of the matching item. Or if hit-testing a subitem, this value represents the subitem's parent item.

iSubItem

Type: int

Version 4.70. Receives the index of the matching subitem. When hit-testing an item, this member will be zero.

iGroup

Type: int

Windows Vista. Group index of the item hit (read only). Valid only for owner data. If the point is within an item that is displayed in multiple groups then iGroup will specify the group index of the item.
