Edit ListView SubItem?

[gobsor]

Heya,

I read a lot on ListView editing by mouse-clicks today, finally i figured out how to get the row-number/column-number of ListView Items/SubItems!

Okay, I am now able to edit a ListView item using

_GUICtrlListView_EDITLabel($hListView, $iIndex)

which allows me to edit ListView item's by double-clicking them using a $WM_NOTIFY function.

But how do I edit ListView SubItems? Since _GUICtrlListView_EDITLabel($hwnd, $index) only takes the $index, I am only able to go "down" through the first column of the ListView.

I can edit all Items but not the SubItems of those. I couldn't find any function that allows me to, lets say _GUICtrlListView_EDITSubItemLabel($hwnd, $row, $column) or something similiar,

any idea on how to procede?

regards

Hi,

You'll need to do a to find when a sub item is double clicked and then draw your own edit edit field and update the sub item when the user has finished.

Here's a crude example of in place edit on 1st and Sub item edit of a listview

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiListView.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>

Global $hGuui, $hListView
Global $hEdit, $hDC, $hBrush, $Item = -1, $SubItem = 0

$hGUI = GUICreate("ListView Subitems edit in place", 300, 200)
$hListView = _GUICtrlListView_Create($hGUI, "Items|SubItems", 2, 2, 296, 196, BitOR($LVS_EDITLABELS, $LVS_REPORT))
_GUICtrlListView_SetExtendedListViewStyle($hListView, $LVS_EX_GRIDLINES)
For $i = 1 To 10
    _GUICtrlListView_AddItem($hListView, "Item " & $i)
    _GUICtrlListView_AddSubItem($hListView, $i - 1, "SubItem " & $i, 1)
Next
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGuui)

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NOTIFY, "WM_NOTIFY")
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_COMMAND, "WM_COMMAND")

Thanks a lot! Works like a charm!

I know it is an old thread. Hopefully someone will help with answering my quesion.

How can I handle hitting the enter key, to end editing, while editing a cell in the middle of a row? Thanks.

Saad,

Take a look at my GUIListViewEx UDF (the link is in my sig).
