Hi everyone. I'm having trouble getting groups working in a list box.I'm trying to have two groups. One will be "Done", and the other will be "todo". I'm getting these errors:

In function `LRESULT WindowProcedure(HWND__*, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM)':
`ListView_EnableGroupView' undeclared (first use this function)
(Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.)
`LVGROUP' undeclared (first use this function)
expected `;' before "lg"
`lg' undeclared (first use this function)
`LVGF_HEADER' undeclared (first use this function)
`LVGF_GROUPID' undeclared (first use this function)
`ListView_InsertGroup' undeclared (first use this function)

where did you declare and code ListView_InsertGroup() ? It is not in any win32 api function that I know of so it has to be in your code someplace.

Thanks for the reply but I think it is a win32 api function. I found it here on the microsoft website.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms671168.aspx

try defining this at the top of your program. The macro compiles ok with VC++ 2005 Express but may not with other compilers. It only works on XP and Vista.

#define _WIN32_WINNT  0x501

Thanks, but it's still not working (same error). I'm using dev c++ in case it helps.

I used Dev-C++, created a Windows program then added that macro and it compiled without a problem. Just had to include commctrl.h header file.

#include <windows.h>
#include <commctrl.h>
<snip>

ListView_InsertGroup(0,0,0);
<snip>

define the following in your souce code before including commctrl.h
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x600
and it should work - maybe.

It's often even better to set this definition in your compiler options.
