TListviewMultiColumn

[hessamini]

Hello
Does it support creating Listview Multi column or does it have sample code to implement in Tvision?
The next topic is how to compile [turbo] (https://github.com/magiblot/turbo) in Visual Studio.
I think if I can compile Turbo, then I will have a lot of examples of controls that are not in Tvision. Am I right?
Of course, compiling Scintilla in this project(turbo) may be extra for my purpose and should be removed from my code.
If you can introduce me to a Visual Studio project that is only Tvision and contains all the controls outside of Tvision, I would be grateful.

TVision is just a Library.
But you can find Examples around the FOSS Archive for C++ and Pascal.
The original TurboVision comes from the Turbo Pascal Area.
A next part of Turbo Vision was Turbo Graphics for 16-Colors which can be use to Coding Windows 2032 OT (Old Technologie) :-)
All samples based on one layer, you can extend like LEGO Bricklayer.

If you would use Visual Studio, I see a problem with the Codebase because some parts are GNU hardning in assembler mode.
But theoretical you can start a Makefile project and add the C files to it and step forward with each.
Let me know what progress is...

I don't understand the connection between your answer and my question.
The tvision project with the makefile made for cmake in Visual Studio can be opened and used with Visual Studio.
But the turbo project cannot be opened with Visual Studio because cmake does not give us the output of Visual Studio.
I guess since I needed a combobox before but it was not there in tvision, it was introduced to me by the manager in the turbo project and it got me started, I can find the multi-column listview in this project.

Does it support creating a multi-column listview or does it have sample code to implement in Tvision?

I had simulate multi-column mode with different kind of ListBoxes.

take a look to my repro:
https://github.com/paule32/SWIPL_ZWAP/tree/main
and there
https://github.com/paule32/SWIPL_ZWAP/tree/main/src/cc

But by the way: would you realy coding DOS Console Apps in Time of Windows ?
Is it not better when I invite you to test the following repro:
https://github.com/paule32/TApplication

it is Python - so what ?
You have a small amount of code lines with huge learn curve.
And you can Frameworks that already have support for MultiColumn ListBoxes.

Hi @hessamini!

I'm not sure what you mean exactly by "multi-column list view", but I guess you are looking for something which Turbo Vision's standard classes do not provide. TListViewer only supports splitting a single list into multiple columns, as in the Open File dialog. If you can explain it with more detail, I may be able to come up with some example.

Regarding the Turbo project, it's not that it contains lots of additional controls. It only contains a few ones which I developed because I needed them. Anyway, to have it working in Visual Studio you shouldn't have to do anything special since Visual Studio supports CMake projects. However, since it depends on Turbo Vision, the simplest way may be to clone the Turbo repository recursively so that the Turbo Vision submodule gets downloaded.

If for some reason you can't open CMake projects directly from Visual Studio, but you can build Turbo from the command line using CMake (as in here), you will be able to find a turbo.sln file in the CMake build directory which can be opened with Visual Studio.

If you would use Visual Studio, I see a problem with the Codebase because some parts are GNU hardning in assembler mode.
But theoretical you can start a Makefile project and add the C files to it and step forward with each.

This is not right. The assembly code in the Turbo Vision project is only used when building for DOS with Borland C++.
