ListView: edit item

[mark smit]

Hello, again...

I have read through the MSDN about ListView controls and I have
written some code that lets me edit the first item in my ListView
control but... Is there any way to edit ANY of the items AND subitems
in the control, sort of like a spread sheet?

Assuming you have your ListView setup in Report Mode??? You will
not get the ListView to behave in the same manor as in the first
column, that is, a little edit box pops up to accept your changes
then hides and applies the change to that specific Row/Column. However
with some additional code you can get something close. Somebody posted
an example of the listview in report mode with grid lines. This example
detects double clicks and ID's the Row/Column and pops up with a message
box that shows that rows contents. You could modify this code to have
your own dialog box with an edit field and then apply the changes to
the listview control. I would prefer to mimic the same behavior by
placing a borderless edit control into that cell, edit that field, then
hide the edit control and apply your changes. If you look at my source
code "Start of my Grid" in the Source Code Forum you will see how I
snuggly placed the edit control inside the cell to make it look like
a real editable cell.

If you want both code snippets, drop me an email and I will forward
them to you.
