Visual Basic :: How To Change Back Color Of List Item In List View

HighLight List Box Selected List Item With User Defined Color
Hi Friends,

I need a help from u all. My problem is to change the Backcolor of the selected listitem of a listbox.

Let me explain detail. Normally in a listbox if we selected the list, the list item will be highlited with blue backgroud (ie. the selected item color settings of the system). Now I need to hightlight the selected list in the list box with my own color say red, green or something else.

Would anyone help me.

Item To Be Selected In A List View

I tried the function

List View Item Position
Hi Folks

I have a list view set to report view which is populated by a database. I have a timer control which every 30 seconds clears down the list and repopulates it with up to date information.

If a user has an item selected down the list it loses that selection when the list refresh is invoked, as expected. Therefore I have written some code to reselect the item the user was originally on then used the EnsureVisible command to return the view back to where the user was.

My problem is the EnsureVisible command only just makes the item visible, what I am looking for is to return to user to the exact position that the item appeared before the refresh took place therefore making the refresh virtually unnoticable. Is this possible ?

Any help would be appriciated

Thanks

List View - Selected Item

List View Item Data..
Hi All,

I'm trying to store a product ID in the ItemData Property of a listbox. The ID's quite often contain leading zero's. When I pull it out again, the listview has removed the leading zero's.

I need to get round this as I'm calling a stored Proceedure which requires them.

I have also stored the ID & Desc for the user to view, I figured I could search the string until I hit a semi-colon then store up until that point and parse that.

Unless anyone has any ideas can some one point me in the right direction regarding searching the string and keeping the searched items?

Thanks in advance

Color And List View
I am trying to get a background color in a List View. I have chosen Green as the BackColor and Black as the ForeColor in the custom Properties dialog box under the Color tab and see the green List View in Design mode.
However, at run time, all the rows with data revert to grey background, and only the empty rows are green, which is not what I expect.

I tried changing a bunch of parameters but cannot get it to work.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

List View Item In Crystal Report
hi all,

how can i get the exact order of the listview items in the crystal report too. i am using crystal 8.0 , Vb 6.0.

in brief : am populating the listview with the table contents by searching particular name and date. in each extracted records there may be credit or debit payments credit(category name : Advance) will be added to balance and debit(Category names.... Material, Personal etc..) will be deducted. balance is not a table field. ... it is an item in the listview. in each row of the listview based on the category it will be added or deducted. am displaying the listview with order by category clause. so all the advance will come together.

here i am trying to query the table and displaying to crystal but sqlquery is not working. but crystalreport.selectionformula is workng without order by clause.

Selected Item In List View Is Not Marked
Hi,

I am hoping if anyone can help me...

I have 3 'list-view' controls in my program. Let's call it lvw1, lvw2 and lvw3.
If I select any item in the lvw1, the item is highlighted. But when I move to lvw2 and select an item there, the highlighted item in lvw1 is then removed.
Only item in lvw2 is highlighted. The same result appears, when I chose an item in lvw3..

It seems that only 1 item from 1 list view control can be highlighted at any one time.

Is there anyway, so that if I chose an itme in lvw1 it will still be highlighted even when I choose other item in lvw2 and lvw3.

Thank you for any replies.

Regards

*RESOLVED* Getting Selected Item In List View To Move Into View*RESOLVED*
Hi, I am trying to get a List View to act like a combo box. At the top of the List View there is a text box where the following code searches the List View for the text entered, I have this code in the Change event of the text box so a search is done on each letter typed.

The code finds the record without a problem but I want it to move to the top or into view. Right now I have to scroll down to find the record it selected. Anyone have any ideas? Here is my code:

Code:

If txtFindFirst = "" Then
GoTo NoRecord
Else
l = Len(txtFindFirst.Text)

lstContacts.ListItems(i).Selected = True
Exit Sub

End If
Next

On Error GoTo NoList
lstContacts.ListItems(1).Selected = True

What Is The Limits On COmbo Box, List Box And LIst View And How Do You Handle Situations W
OK<
I have looked at all 5 of my vb Barnes and noble books
under listbox
and did not find where it said what the limit was.

I learned how to read a data base (unbound even) into a list box, or combo box.

But now I have over 32,768 items,
my data base list has between 100,000 - 125,000 Parts I want to load.

I can think of a lot of cases where the data base you want to load into a list or combo box is well of 32768

So my questions are
( I did also search VBCITY)

1) What is the limits on
listbox
combo box
list view

and

where is it documented.

and 2

How do I handle the case of more than 32768 with a listview??

I did found a little bit about it on vbcity

Thanks

Changing To A List View Instead Of A List Box To Overcome 32768 Limits
I had the program done
I was loading a listbox and typing is a text box watching the closest match be selected.
I start off by filling the list box from a mdb with a table called partlist,
and a field called part numbers

It worked fine.
But now because I am over 32768 ( I will never go over 125,000) records, I am past the usefullness of a list box I guess.

so How do I change this code that works with a listbox, to code that works with a viewbox

and is this my best solution

Here is the listbox working code

Public Function FillListboxparts(Optional PartNumber As String)
   Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass
   Dim li As ListItem
   Dim lih As ListItem
   Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
   Dim rsPartList As ADODB.Recordset
   Dim strSQL As String

   strSQL = "SELECT PartNumber From partlist"


   Set cnn = New ADODB.Connection

   cnn.Open ConnString
   Set rsPartList = New ADODB.Recordset
   rsPartList.Open strSQL, cnn

While Not rsPartList.EOF
    listboxparts.AddItem rsPartList("Partnumber")
    rsPartList.MoveNext
Wend
Text1.Text = listboxparts.ListCount
rsPartList.Close
Set rsPartList = Nothing
cnn.Close
Set cnn = Nothing

Set li = Nothing
Set lih = Nothing
  Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault
  End Function

FIVE

Does anyone know how to do this?

Combine List Items To Create New Item In Same List?
Hi all,

This has been giving me fits for a few days - any help would be most appreciated. I'm sure it's pretty simple, but I'm new to VB (and programming in general) and can't seem to come up with the correct syntax to get this to work:

I have a listbox from which the user can select mutliple items. Once user performs a multi-select, I enable a button (no problem there). When user clicks that button, I want to create a new item in that same list consisting of all selected items with "AND" between them.

Thus, if user had selected <item 1>, <item 2>, and <item 4>, the new item would be "<item 1> AND <item 2> AND <item 4>". Can someone please help me with the logic and syntax on this?

Here's what I have up to this point (I've removed the parts that I believe - based on the fact that this is not working - to be wrong and replaced them with ?????):

Code:
        Dim terms As String
        For Each terms In List.SelectedItems
            If List.SelectedItems.Count > 1 Then
                terms = ??????? & " AND " & ???????
            End If
        Next
        List.Items.Add (???????)

Thanks!!
