rasim & BugFix

Thank you for the rapid response and the easy to understand examples. This will really help me out tremendously!

DiscoEd · July 15, 2008

So, I found that rasim's and smashly's code worked very well for one listview control, and i started thinking about how to make it work with two listview controls.

I know there is a alot of duplication in the WM_Notify function that follows, but it does seem to work with the two listview controls.

The problem I'm having now is trying to figure out how to make the WM_Command function work with two controls. No matter what I've tried I can't seem to find the handle for the listview control that is being edited.

Any ideas about how to make the WM_Command function work for both hListView and hListView2?

Thank you,

DiscoEd

Nice little bit there. I was looking for such a feature yesterday and your posting brought this to my attention. Thanks.

One thing, I like they way your method keeps the input box as a "cell" rather than a popup type overlay. And I like how the enter button commits the edits. However, I cannot seem to figure out how to convert it to use OnEvent. Things get wonky with the hotkey and enter, but works fine without that. Actually if you just convert it all to OnEvent, the end_editLV runs twice and the second time through clears the value out.

Any ideas?

@Sulfurious,

What you mean by OnEvent ? Which event ?

What end_editLV does the first time ?

Maybe an example will clarify what you want to do.

faustf,

As far as I know you need to add an empty item to a ListView before you can edit it - no item means no edit.

I've been exploring ListViews for the first time and just noticed these excellent examples.

Is there any possibility of dragging text from one "cell" to an empty one?

qwert,

My GUIListViewEx UDF allows you to drag entire rows within and between ListViews - perhaps the code might offer some ideas on how you might drag single sub-items.
