Question

I am new to MFC & BGCControlBar.
Now I plan to use CBCGPListCtrl which is defined as:

class BCGCBPRODLLEXPORT CBCGPListCtrl : public CListCtrl

&

CBCGPListCtrl m_wndWatch;

Now in the demo code I plan to change:

int CWatchBar::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct) 
{
    if (CBCGPDockingControlBar::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
        return -1;

    m_Font.CreateStockObject (DEFAULT_GUI_FONT);

    CRect rectDummy;
    rectDummy.SetRectEmpty ();

    // Create output pane:
        const DWORD dwStyle = WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_VSCROLL | LVS_REPORT |  LVS_EDITLABELS ;

    m_wndWatch.Create (dwStyle, rectDummy, this, ID_LIST_1);
    m_wndWatch.SendMessage (LVM_SETEXTENDEDLISTVIEWSTYLE, 0,
                        LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT | LVS_EX_GRIDLINES);
    m_wndWatch.InsertColumn (0, _T("Variable"), LVCFMT_LEFT, 100);
    m_wndWatch.InsertColumn (1, _T("Value"), LVCFMT_LEFT, 100);

    m_wndWatch.InsertItem (0, _T("m_nCount"));
    m_wndWatch.SetItemText (0, 1, _T("100"));

    m_wndWatch.SetFont (&m_Font);

    return 0;
}

What I get is a list(as in pic), I can only edit the 1st colum and the data can not be retained. How can I edit the second column text and make the data retainable?

You need a grid control rather than a CListCtrl (or derived class). Actually, it’s possible to add support for edition in other columns but it’s a looooooot of work and not the kind of thing I’d recommend to a newcomer.

According to this page of their web site, they have a grid control.
