Click Item In Listview Then Show That Item In Combo As Index = 0
Hi guys,

I have a listview (lvwUserPunchedOut) that is populated with records in a database (persons first name in one column and last name in the second column), what I am looking to do is if I select a persons name by clicking on it in the listview on frmMain, and then bring up frmSearchCriteria, i would like to show that selected name in the combobox as default (cboEmployee.ListIndex = 0) on frmSearchCriteria (the combobox is sorted = True and is also populated with first name and last name of the person)

How would this be done? Hope I make sense. Thanks in advance.

Moving A Listview Item And Its Subitems To A New Listview
Hey Guys,

Having a bit of trouble. I am attemping to move a selected item and its subitems from one listview to another. I have no problem getting the contents of the first column, but I can't seem to get the subitems over.

Example: I have this in the first listview:

Code:
|Item |Quanity|Price |PQ |
Bananas 2 $.50 $1.00

Then when I try to move that whole row to the other listview I can only seem to get this:

Code:
|Item |Quanity|Price |PQ |
Bananas

No subitems . Any links or help would be appreciated.

Search Item In A Listbox

How To Find The Next Search Item?
Right now I am using the Instr function to find certain texts I want to grab out of a HTML source code. Let's say for example I want to find the word "box" and the word box appears 9 times in the HTML source code. I can find the first "box" using Instr to find the beginning of "box" and another Instr to find the end. To extract the word I use the Mid function. How do I tell VB5 to go find the next "box" and extract that and then tell VB5 to stop when it cannot find anymore "box".

Example HTML code:
<b><font color="#000000">box</font></b>

This is my code:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
'Declaring variables
    Dim str_url
    Dim search, search1
    Dim result, result1
    Dim length
    Dim word

'Declaring the search location
    str_url = Inet1.OpenURL("http://www.somewebsite.com")

'Declaring the searched character
    search = "box"
    search1 = "<" 'To indicate the end of the word

'Performing the search
    result = InStr(1, str_url, search)
    result1 = InStr(result, str_url, search1)
    length = result1 - result
    word = Mid(str_url, result, length)

'Displaying the find
    text1.text = word

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Using An Inputbox To Search DB For An Item
I am using ADODB to connect and manipulate a DB. What I am trying to do is write code so that a user can enter a number into an inputbox. Then I want to search my DB (the ID field) and try to find the number returned from the input box
If it does exist I want to populate some labels with the appropriate info from the item with that index.
If it does not exist I want a MSgbox to say item does not exist in DB. What I have so far is below.I am stuck because I dont know how to search the DB.

Private Sub cmdFind()

    strMsg = "Enter an item number to look up and press enter." _
    & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & "To cancel this operation press escape."
    strTitle = "Item Number Look up"
    strNumber = InputBox(strMsg, strTitle)

    If IsNumeric(strNumber) Then
        intID = Val(strNumber)
    Else
        answer = MsgBox("Enter Numeric Value only", vbOKOnly, "Sorry Invalid entry")
        Exit Sub
    End If

End sub

I have most of tis project complete but I am having a little grief on this part.

If any one has some suggestions it would be appreciated

Populate Textbox With Combo Box Search Item

Private Sub cboDate_Click()
Myid = Val(txtid(2).Text)
demo.Text = cboDate.List(cboDate.ListIndex)

Dim objConn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim objRec As New ADODB.Recordset

'Loading current consumer's behaviors

objConn.Open ("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:Documents and SettingsMs. ShizznicDesktopDeed Adult ResidentialCopy of SeniorProto1.mdb;Persist Security Info=False")

Set objRec = objConn.Execute("Select Behavior.BehaviorName, Behavior.BehaviorDate, Behavior.BehaviorDescription, Behavior.BriefComment From Behavior Where Behavior.BehaviorDate = " & (demo.Text) & "")

Do While Not (objRec.EOF Or objRec.BOF)
txtBehavName.Text = objRec.Fields("BehaviorName")
txtbehavedescipt.Text = objRec.Fields("BehaviorDescription")
txtbehaveComment.Text = objRec.Fields("BriefComment")

objRec.MoveNext

Loop

objRec.Close
objConn.Close

End Sub

also i'm attatching the program. just reset the connection strings and go to view consumer behaviors in the program.

Search A Listbox For A String Before Adding Item
I have a listbox, and the user can add items to it by entering text into a textbox and clicking a label. Before an item is added though, I want to check to see if it already exists.

Declarations:
Code:
Private Const LB_FINDSTRING = &H18F
Private Const LB_FINDSTRINGEXACT = &H1A2
Private Declare Function SendMessageString Lib "User32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As String) As Long

Label Click:
Code:

Dim Index As Long
Dim Find As String
Dim I As Integer
For I = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1
    List1.Selected(I) = True
    Find = List1.Text
    Index = SendMessageString(List1.hWnd, LB_FINDSTRINGEXACT, -1, Find)
If Index > -1 Then
    List1.ListIndex = Index
Exit Sub
End If
Next
    List1.AddItem (TXTList.Text)

The problem is, after I have added my first item it will not let me add anymore because it exits the sub as it has found a match, when really there is no match to find.

Display Item Selected After Closing Search Form
I have a form for search (frmSearch1) and a main form (frmMain). Using a flexgrid in the search form i populate the grid with the search routine.
After the search i want the user to be able to click on one of the items, then close the search form, and upon returning to the main form i want to posistion the recordset to the selected record.

What i have so far posted below...I use this code to capture the primary key(getRecNum) of the item selected.
But i don't know how to get back to the mainform and reposiition to the selected record.

Thanks,
Eldron Gill

Private Sub MSFlexGrid1_Click()
Dim getRecNum
MSFlexGrid1.Col = 0

How To Get The First Item In A Listview
This should be fairly easy, but for some reason nothing I've tried seems to work. I'm trying to visually pull out certain criteria in a listview. I'm using the following code to change the forecolor of the items in the listview. I can change the subitems, but can't figure out how to change the first item in the row.
Code:
If Trim(Rs![F14]) = "D" Then
For Y = 1 To Lvw1.ColumnHeaders.Count - 1
itmX.ListSubItems(Y).ForeColor = vbBlue
Lvw1.Refresh
Next Y
End If
I thought this would be easy to do. I've tried

lvw1.ListItems(Y).Forecolor (changes the first item in every row)
lvw1.SelectedItem.Forecolor (always changes the first item in the first row)

This has got to be simple enough. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

Set A ListView Item By Key?
VB Code:
lvItem.SubItems(1) = "Text"

The above sets a ListView list sub item by index, but can I code the above to work by the .Key property somehow?

VB Code:

Doesn't work...

Select First Item In Listview
Hi,

I have a somewhat simple problem and I am wondering what the simplest way to handle it is. I have a treeview that I am loading with some information about files in a specific directory. The listview is set to automatically sort the list and after all the nodes are added, I want to have the top node in the treeview be selected. But I don't have a reference to the first node in the list. Are there any properties that I can use to get the node that is at the top of the list?

Thanks,

Listview Selected Item
How can i get the selected item of a listview in another form ???

I have tried with this code:

Code:
Public Function geselecteerdLid() As Integer
Dim iLidID As Integer
Dim oItem As ListViewItem
For Each oItem In lvwLeden.SelectedItems
iLidID = Convert.ToInt32(oItem.Text)
Return iLidID
Next
End Function
and in another form i refer to this with

Code:
Private Sub btnOk_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOk.Click
Dim oForm As New frmLid
MessageBox.Show(oForm.geselecteerdLid)
End Sub
the result of this is always 0, i guess this is because i make an object of the form where my listview is (frmLid)
