Visual Basic :: Stop ListView Selection When Not Wanted

Stop Arrow Keys Changing OptionButton Selection
In my application, I have a toolbar at the top, and a PictureBox taking up the rest of the screen.

The toolbar contains an array of OptionButtons, Style=Graphical.

The PictureBox displays a map.

I want the user to be able to navigate the map using the arrow keys, so I set up a keyboard hook to capture key presses, check for the arrow, and do the appropriate processing. And all was well.

However!...

Pushing the arrow keys also has the undesired effect of selecting a different tool, should the OptionButtons have the focus at the time the key is pushed.

So does anybody know of a way to stop the arrow keys from cycling through the OptionButtons?

I thought I could capture it in the KeyDown event of the optionButtons and set KeyCode = 0, but the event isn't even triggered.

Stop Listview Flickering?
Hi folks,

I am having trouble in preventing flickering while adding items to a listview.

Please help!

Stop Drag In Listview
I found this code

Code:

' REQUIRES THE MSGHOOK.DLL LIBRARY

Const WM_NOTIFY = &H4E
Const LVN_FIRST = -100&
Const LVN_BEGINDRAG = (LVN_FIRST - 9)

Private Declare Sub CopyMemory Lib "kernel32" Alias "RtlMoveMemory" (dest As _
Any, source As Any, ByVal bytes As Long)

Private Type NMHDR
hwndFrom As Long
idFrom As Long
code As Long
End Type

Dim WithEvents FormHook As MsgHook

Private Sub Form_Load()
' start subclassing the current form
Set FormHook = New MsgHook
FormHook.StartSubclass Me

' fill the ListView1 control with data
' ... (omitted) ...
End Sub

' this event fires when the form is sent a message

Private Sub FormHook_BeforeMessage(uMsg As Long, wParam As Long, lParam As Long, _
retValue As Long, Cancel As Boolean)

' the ListView might be notifying something to its parent form
If uMsg = WM_NOTIFY Then
' copy the MNHDR structure pointed
' to by lParam to a local UDT
Dim nmh As NMHDR
CopyMemory nmh, ByVal lParam, Len(nmh)

' check whether the notification is from the ListView1 control
' and whether it's the beginning of a drag operation
If nmh.hwndFrom = ListView1.hWnd And nmh.code = LVN_BEGINDRAG Then
' yes, cancel this operation
retValue = 1
Cancel = True
End If
End If
End Sub

but I can't get it to work (I have a lisview on my form).

It craps out at:

Dim WithEvents FormHook As MsgHook

Any ideas?

Stop Listview Loading
Hi everyone!

I'm filling a listview with a lot of data. If the user gets tired, he can press a button "Cancel" which should stop the listview loading.

To do that, in the loading loop I put a flag which is continously read at every cycle, for example:

Code:
While count<MaxCount And GoOn

'fill listview
'...
count +=1
End while

' Routine for cancelling
Private sub OnBtnCancel_click (...)
GoOn=False
end sub

However, while the listview is filling up, I cannot press any button because the UI is freezed. So the Cancel button is unuseful.
Usage of Listview.BeginUpdate and Listview.EndUpdate() is useless.

The only way I found to make this work is to have the listview filled by another thread... but this is of course illegal because one should have the UI thread which created the listview to handle it, and not another thread.

Does someone have an idea?

Thank you

No Selection In My Listview
hi,

i've made a listview, and i want to make sure nothing is selected when the form starts up, so my fill looks like this:

With lvShowList
.View = lvwReport
.GridLines = True
.LabelWrap = True
.FullRowSelect = True

.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Naam"

'then here i _do_ stuff , is all ok, just fill the thing up with
'the correct data

With .ListItems
For i = 0 To UBound(arrData)
.Add , , arrData(i)
Next i
End With
Set lvShowList.SelectedItem = Nothing
End With

when i debug: selected item is set to nothing,
unfortunately, it _is_ set to the first item.
anybody's got a clue on how to _really_ set selecteditem to nothing (and make it stay that way untill a user clicked on something)

thanx,
christie

Listview - Row Selection
I am using a listview in my program with 30 rows

If i left lick on any row it gets selected, but if i right click on any row, then the row is not selected.

Ive added some code which runs when the user right clicks a row.

But now in my program the user first has to select the row he wants ie first he left clicks the row he wants and then right clicks on that row.

So is it possible to select the row whenever the user right clicks on any row in the listview.

ListView Selection
Hi

I am have a program where the user selects from a list of calls. When they double click ta new form opens displaying all the call details. If they make any changes then I refresh the data on the original form to show the new values. However, this causes the listview to display the first item in the list as the selected row.

How can I ensure the same row is being higlighted when I move back to the original form withe listview? I have tried storing the index etc but nothing seems to work.

Cheers

God morning
As you can see in the attached pic, when you select a row first time it will look as pic 2, what I want is it to look as pic 1, which now only can be achieved by either click again on the same row or click on another row (as far as I know)

Can it be solved?

thanks

Listview Selection
Hi,

I've got a listview.
The listview contains a numer of columns and a number of rows.
What I want to do is to be able to set the selecteditem to the row I've selected, regardless of the column I'm using.

For your information, it's for writing an ocx. That ocx can consist of multiple listviews. I want to be able to set the selecteditem whenever a user single-clicks on a row. When the user doubleclicks, the selecteditem should also be set properly after that the ocx goes into edit-mode for that particular listitem.

I've performed a search on this forum, but I haven't found a proper solution that solves my problem.

Any help is appreciated
Kind regards,
Mvrp350

Listview Selection Box
Hi I got a small problem with my listview but its annoying anyway. When I have some items selected and right click on the listview a popup menu pops up with options that can be executed. When I have clicked one of these options they will execute and after that the focus returns back to the ListView but the selection box doesnt dissapear. Without clicking in the ListView the selection box appears like it is still dragging to get a selection. I hope you understand what I mean, maybe the answer is simple but I havent figured it out. Thx

ListView Selection
I need to be able to somehow tell if the user has made a selection (highlighted) an item in a ListView or if no selection has been made. I am new to the whole listview control and hoping this task can be accomplished without having to loop through the list.

Any ListView gurus out there?

How do you programatically set the Selected row of a ListView so that it is highlighted?

I've tried:

Code:
Me.lstArticles.ListItems.Item(iOrderNbr).Selected = True

But that doesn't seem to work.

Thanks.

Stop Movement Of Listview Icon
hello friends,

I add items (as Icons) and set the view to Icons. When I select and move
one of the items within the listview control, it appears to drag outside the
boundaries of the listview control and the vscroll and hscroll bars appear.
The problem is I want the items to remain aligned, not randomly spread
around. Also, this is a problem because my list view control is about 2
inches square. Can I keep the icon within the white space of the control
and can I keep everything aligned?

Stop ListView Column Header
Hi Everyone,

I am using an example from VBnet about subclassing and responding to notifications from the ListView Header.

http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?cod...ifications.htm

The question I am trying to figure out is this. How can I get a column header to stop resizing once it has gotten to a location to a certain location. For example, stop column 1 from resizing any smaller when pt.X = 20. I would appreciate any help.

Hidden Listview Selection
I have a listview (lvwContacts) box that retreives data from an Access 97 file.
I want the listview to display Name field, but when clicked, send MemberID to a text box next to it.(to retreive other info).

my Members table looks like this
MemberID Name Address PhoneNumber
0 Bob Smith 111 Test Rd. 555-5555
1 Jane Smith 101 Test Ln. 555-5555
2 Mary Smith 010 Test Rd. 555-5555

the form looks like this:

ListView Name: Bob Smith
0 Address: 111 Test Rd.
1 PhoneNumber: 555-5555
2

(0 is clicked in this case to info for MemberID 0 is displayed on the right)

Instead of the MemberID being in the list, I want to display the name,
I want to click the name and have the info show up on the right.

but when the ListView_Click() happens it checks for MemberID
(dont really want to change this yet as it would probably mean starting over..unless its really nessecary)
Here is the code for frmMain.frm
------------------------------------------------------------------
Option Explicit
Dim db As Database
Dim rs As Recordset
Dim lstmain1 As ListItem
Dim lstmain2 As ListItem
Dim clmhead1 As ColumnHeader
Dim clmhead2 As ColumnHeader

Private Sub Form_Load()
Set db = DBEngine.Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase(App.Path & "Members.mdb")
Set clmhead1 = lvwContacts.ColumnHeaders.Add(, , "MemberID", lvwContacts.Width)
Set clmhead2 = lvwContacts.ColumnHeaders.Add(, , "Name", lvwContacts.Width)
ContactView
End Sub

Private Sub lvwContacts_Click()
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Members")
While Not rs.EOF
If lvwContacts.SelectedItem.Text = rs!MemberID Then
txtName.Text = rs!Name
txtAddress.Text = rs!Address
txtPhone.Text = rs!PhoneNo
rs.MoveLast
rs.MoveNext
Else
rs.MoveNext
End If
Wend
End Sub

Public Sub ContactView()
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Members")
frmMain.lvwContacts.ListItems.Clear
While Not rs.EOF
Set lstmain1 = frmMain.lvwContacts.ListItems.Add(, , rs!MemberID)
rs.MoveNext
Wend
If rs.RecordCount = 0 Then
MsgBox "There are no records on the database"
Else
frmMain.lvwContacts.Enabled = True
frmMain.cmdCDelete.Enabled = True
frmMain.cmdCEdit.Enabled = True
End If
End Sub

I am VERY new to this stuff so I hope this isnt a stupid question.
I downloaded a source and am attempting to modify it to help me learn .

A thorough answer is greatly appreciated.

Listview Item Selection
If I click the 1st item in my listview how do I make it show its number like 1, and if I click the 2nd one it says 2.

ListView Selection Issue
I have a problem with a ListView that I am using from an Excel macro.

It appears that even when nothing is selected (i.e. on first drawing the control, item #1 is returned by theListView.Selected. My problem is that I have a delete button which deletes the selected item, and when nothing is selected, the first item gets deleted.

Now I have a work around by disabling the delete button until a click is registered, but I wondered if there was any other way. My original thought was that Selected would return -1, but I guess that does not happen...

Here is were i get confused after sending the data to the textbox how do i update the selected field in the db and listview box. I know I need to do some kind of refresh or update, i hoping someone could give me a code example.

hi,

We all knew that the current selection color of listview is blue during its focus and gray color when it is lost in focus. It is posible to change the color during lost focus. For ex. from gray to red.

Keeping Listview Selection Bar
Does anyone know how to retain the blue highlight bar in a listview control (set to report view) after it loses focus??
I know there is the option of it turning grey on lostfocus (HideSelection), or it disappearing totally, but I need to have a program displaying 2 listview controls, with the blue highlight bar (or even better a user defined colour!) on both lists, clearly showing a current "position" of both lists.

Is there an API call or something for this to change the default windows "lost focus" for the listview?

Any help appreciated....

ListView Selection Disappears?
Hey, all. I'm writing to you from my kitchen counter as I pack other items for a move halfway across the USA!

I'm using the ListView control in Report mode. Whenever I delete a row:

VB Code:
lstFruits.ListItems.Remove 2

...The selection disappears. Granted, that same index (two) is still selected, but the visual indicator of its selected status is now hidden. So, if someone uses the delete button again, they have no idea what they're about to delete.

Is this a bug in the control? Is there a workaround? I have HideSelection set to False, so that's not it. Hmm!

As usual, thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

Listview Invisible Selection
How do I turn off (hide) the selection bar on a listview. I am overlaying the listview with my own pretend selection (using the picture property and setting the listview background to transparent)

* I have tried turning off full row select, but then the first column gets selected.

* I have tried "Hideselection = True" but this only applies when the listview has lost its focus.

the only way I can think of is to set fullrowselect to false. Then create a first column which always has a width of 0, this means my selection would be hidden... but is there a better way?

ListView Nodes Selection
Is there any way to cancel the selection of items within a ListView. For example, lets say you right click over a ListView and popup up a menu.

About Listview Automatically Selection
hi everybody,
i have one question about listview selection.
i have a listview. When i choose a record from the listview and press "Edit" button, a new form is being displayed. At the new form i can change the informations about this record and then when i press "Save" button, this screen is being closed and i can see the form with the listview control again. But i have to clear listview and i have to insert the records again to the listview after i save the record. Till this step everything is ok.

What i want to know is, the record that i choosed before should be selected at the listview but i don't know how to do.
is there anybody who knows how to do this?
i will be glad if you can help me on this issue.

thanks a lot.
