ListView Issues

[Steve Whine]

Hi,

I've just started looking into getting a project of
wine running on Linux via Wine, and I'm very impressed
so far! However, there are a few (mostly minor)
problems with the ListView control:

- When using icons bigger than the sizes returned by
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETICONMETRICS), the text for
the items is not displayed correctly at the bottom of
the icon.

- When running a program created by C++ Builder 5,
clicking on an item in the listview causes an access
violation in C++ Builder's VCL library code - it is
obviously getting passed an unexpected value.

- The amount of text displayed is often far less than
is displayed in Windows, making the listbox difficult
to use.

I have been looking into the ListView code and have
hacked a fix for the first and third problem, but I am
having a little difficulty understanding the code -
the LISTVIEW_INFO struct has both an
nItemWidth/nItemHeight pair describing the
width/height of each item, and an iconSpacing SIZE
struct that seems to do the same. What is the
difference in these, where should one be used and
where should the other be used? 

Is anyone actively maintaining the listview code, or
should I just carry on hacking until I'm happy with
it, and post the changes here? I have created a small
test program to demonstrate these problems which I can
post if anyone is interested.

I must say it's very nice to be able to wade into the
code to fix these problems myself rather than waiting
for someone else (not) to do it!

Cheers
Steve
