[TD42] cOutlineListbox issue : negative item values

[Dave Rabelink]

When a certain range of negative item values is passed in the function

VisListLoadChild, the passed text is not populated but a fixed text is

used which seems to come from Windows (explorer).



-2 > "This computer"

-3 > "My network locations"

-4 > "My documents"

-5 > "Trashcan"

-6 > "Internet Explorer"



Other negative values do not affect the passed text.



I have created a small testcase. I do not see any issues with the

negative value range on TD151 and TD31.

On TD42 this issue is present.



(I'm running WinXP SP2).

/EDIT

Just tested TD51, and the issue is there also.



So, what is this : a feature or a bug ?

Hi Dave,



We came across this issue about 6 months ago (before my time on the forums) when converting an app from 3.1 to 4.1, and implemented a work around to immediately update the item text (using VisListSetItemText) after it was inserted.

Dave, TerryP,
I got the same problem in 5.2 but I migrated from 4.2 where no such problem exists.
Terrys solution work! Thank you.
But in my opinion it is still a bug in TD.
