不用自绘(owner draw)就改变TListView header的字体

To change a font for TListView header

 

Today I want to show how to use the API calls and change a font for ListView header without any extended programming and custom drawing. For example, you have the ListView1 instance and want to set a bold font for header. This task must be solved so: to retrieve a handle of header for list view to get a font object by header handle to define our font object with any custom attributes to set our new font for header The code below will do it: const LVM_GETHEADER = LVM_FIRST + 31; var LF: TLogFont; hHeader, hCurrFont, hOldFont, hHeaderFont: THandle; begin {to get the windows handle for header} hHeader := SendMessage(ListView1.Handle, LVM_GETHEADER, 0, 0); {to get the handle for header font} hCurrFont := SendMessage(hHeader, WM_GETFONT, 0, 0); {to get the LOGFONT with font details} if GetObject(hCurrFont, SizeOf(LF), Addr(LF)) > 0 then begin {set our custom attributes. I set a bold and underlined font style} LF.lfWeight := FW_BOLD; LF.lfUnderline := 1; {create a new font for the header control to use. This font must NOT be deleted until it is no longer required by the control, typically when the application will be closed or when a new font will be applied to header} hHeaderFont := CreateFontIndirect(LF); {to select the new font} hOldFont := SelectObject(hHeader, hHeaderFont); {to notify the listview header about changes} SendMessage(hHeader, WM_SETFONT, hHeaderFont, 1); end; end; Note that somewhere in OnFormClose event you must also to release a memory for hHeaderFont variable: if hHeaderFont > 0 then DeleteObject(hHeaderFont)
