PropertyView control

The WTL PropertyView control is a custom drawn LISTBOX Windows control, which displays a property list. The control is not in-place editable, so all the property values are read-only.

To use it, place a listbox control on your dialog.
Add a member variable to your dialog implementation file...

CPropertyView m_ctlList

In the OnInitDialog() event handler, add the following line:

LRESULT OnInitDialog(UINT /*uMsg*/, WPARAM /*wParam*/, LPARAM /*lP...
{
  ...
  m_ctlList.SubclassWindow(GetDlgItem(IDC_MYLISTBOX));
  ...
}

The control must have the LBS_OWNERDRAWVARIABLE flag set so it can draw its own items. In addition the flags LBS_SORT and LBS_HASSTRINGS are removed, because they would interfere with the drawing.
