This message maps the identifier (ID) of an item to an index.
To send this message, call the SendMessage function.
Syntax
lResult = SendMessage(
(HWND) hWndControl,
(UINT) LVM_MAPIDTOINDEX,
(WPARAM) wParam, // = (WPARAM) (UINT) id;
(LPARAM) lParam // = 0; not used, must be zero
);
Parameters
- id
UINT that contains the unique ID of an item.
- lParam
Must be zero.
Return Value
Returns the most current index.
Remarks
List-view controls internally track items by index. This can present problems because indexes can change during the control's lifetime.
The list-view control can tag an item with an ID when the item is created. You can use this ID to guarantee uniqueness during the lifetime of the list-view control.
If you need the index of an item after an ID is created you can call LVM_MAPIDTOINDEX with the unique ID and it returns the most current index.
Note
In a multithreaded environment, the index is only guaranteed on the thread that hosts the list-view control, not on background threads.
