I've created a form to show errors in an importation of data with a ListView, the group is being created correctly, but even showing that have itens, they are "Invisible".
This is how i'm populating my ListView:
class procedure TFrm_Erros.InternalShowErros(ATitle: string; AMessageErrorList: TMessageList);
var
vMessage: TMessage;
i: integer;
vGroups: TStringList;
vListGroup: TListGroup;
begin
vGroups := TStringList.Create;
Frm_Erros := TFrm_Erros.Create(nil);
Frm_Erros.lvErrors.Items.BeginUpdate;
try
TFrm_Erros.SetTitle(ATitle);
Frm_Erros.lvErrors.Items.Clear;
Frm_Erros.lvErrors.Groups.Clear;
vGroups.Sorted := True;
vGroups.Duplicates := dupIgnore;
for i := 0 to AMessageErrorList.Count - 1 do
begin
vGroups.Add(AMessageErrorList[i].Source);
end;
for i := 0 to vGroups.Count - 1 do
begin
vListGroup := Frm_Erros.lvErrors.Groups.Add;
vListGroup.Header := Format('%s (%d)', [vGroups[i], AMessageErrorList.GetCountForSource(vGroups[i])]);
vListGroup.State := vListGroup.State + [lgsCollapsible];
vListGroup.GroupID := i;
end;
for i := 0 to AMessageErrorList.Count - 1 do
begin
vMessage := AMessageErrorList.Items[i];
Frm_Erros.lvErrors.Items.Add.Caption := vMessage.GetFullMessage;
Frm_Erros.lvErrors.Items.Add.GroupID := vGroups.IndexOf(vMessage.Source);
end;
finally
Frm_Erros.lvErrors.Items.EndUpdate;
vGroups.Free;
Frm_Erros.ShowModal;
end;
Frm_Erros.Free;
end;
Your code is adding two items, assigning Caption to the first, GroupID to the second.
Frm_Erros.lvErrors.Items.Add.Caption := vMessage.GetFullMessage;
Frm_Erros.lvErrors.Items.Add.GroupID := vGroups.IndexOf(vMessage.Source);
What you want to do is following I guess: Declare vListItem
of appropriate type and then:
vListItem := Frm_Erros.lvErrors.Items.Add;
vListItem.Caption := vMessage.GetFullMessage;
vListItem.GroupID := vGroups.IndexOf(vMessage.Source);
Update:
It might be possible that you add Column(s) at design time already, if not you need to
vColumn := Frm_Erros.lvErrors.Columns.Add;
vColumn.Caption := 'Error Message';
vColumn.Width := 300;
to add them at run-time. Without columns I had the same blank Lines beneath the groups in a sample project.
