I am looking for a List view control that allows me to do something like this:

 

 

I will be managing some products, The checkmarks show available products while X would show unavailable products. There would be some basic id and pricing information which is something that the default ListView control doesnt allow me to do in Icon View.

 

I do not have experience creating custom controls and while I would LOVE to learn how to do it I need this solution as quickly as possible and later on I will get on the task of creating my own.

 

Any information on if this is possible or how to manually create this would be great!

Easiest way would be to use an ActiveX control and then use HTML/CSS/JS. Then do some fancy voodoo to get/set the info.

 

I made this in AHK probably 2 years ago with ActiveX, HTML, CSS and JS. http://i.imgur.com/3vyUrJh.png

Note: ActiveX doesn't use the latest IE, so you don't get css3 and html5. Though, geekdude figured out a hack to use your latest IE version with activeX: http://www.autohotke...-render-engine/

But then it might just be easier to make this a web-based program (doesn't need to be connected to the internet, just uses a browser as the main program)

While that seems like the most sensible approach I would have no knowledge on how to load information from an XML to the list in HTML, and I assume it would be done via PHP or something of the sort.

That means learning a few tricks. Unfortunately I dont have the time
Any quick hints on how to read/write information using this method? would it really be PHP or something that I am missing?

Probably JS or Jquery. Which it mildly easy. I've made a few ahk GUI's that use activex/js to power part of it.

 

The List would be a table (or preferably DIV tags with Float: left; CSS property.) wrapped in a div with a limited size (CSS: width: 100%; height: 500px;), then add the CSS property: overflow: auto;.

 

Getting XML data with JS looks pretty simple, like standard COM stuff in ahk:
