stustarz Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Having got deep into control creation, i have on some occasions resorted to using the Windows API in order to manipulate certain features of controls - the Listview being one of them and in particular using the 'group by' functionality: Now, i understand i could draw the control completely and implement it this way, but my question is, does using the Windows API have any serious drawbacks?

mark007 Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Not if you use them properly - they should work fine. Only future drawback that I can think of will be that code will have to be rewritten slightly for 64 bit windows when it arrives. :) Quote Please check the Knowledge Base before you post.

HJB417 Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 I really don't think 32bit code needs to be rewritten for a 64bit os, recompiled maybe but not rewritten. Quote
