dcl-Control-SetColumnHeader doesn't seem to work.

[roy_043]

For a small project I want to dynamically change a list view including the column header. But for some reason I can't get dcl-Control-SetColumnHeader to work. Is there something wrong with my code or is this perhaps a bug?

I am travelling and can't check the source code right now, but I believe that is a design-time-only property. You could change it at runtime, but you would need to make the change before showing the form.

The function dcl-Control-SetColumnHeader is called in the 'OnInitialize' event. Is this what you mean by 'before showing the form'?

Note: BricsCAD 14.2.17 + OpenDCL 8.0.0.10.

Owen, I Just found out that we have already addressed this problem (with the same sample files...) in May of this year. My apologies for wasting your time.

OnInitialize is too late for design-time properties. I meant before (dcl-Form-Show),

BTW, the Combo Box Lab sample deals with the issue (actually different properties, but same design-time-only problem) by closing and reshowing the form.

Thanks for pointing out 'Combo Box Lab'. It is quite impressive. But for what I want, a blank list view until a database is selected, it is perhaps too much overhead. Also I do not want to close the form. Maybe I'll use a second dummy list view and just play with the visibility property instead.
Thanks again Owen.
