Hi! Thanks for the help. But i still have two more problems. How can i put textbox and checkbox on a listview control. I know that you can set the checkbox property to true to display a checkbox on the listview, but how about textbox? Is it possible?

Is there a way to know what column was click on a listview if it has several columns in it? Because i want to use listview the same way as datagrid.



I'll really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance

Hello

I am not sure why you want to put a text box on a ListView Control. And What is the problen to Put one on the list view control. Why not just draw text box on Listview?

In listview control the colum is determined by the proppeety

ListView1.SeletedItem. Subitem(Index)



Will You Please explain what is your Idea Behind putting a text box on it??

VbBaby

what do you mean when you say "draw a text box on a listview?
Is it different from putting a textbox on a listview?

I want to put textbox on a listview so user can keyin something, just like a datagrid. Before im planning to use datagrid but i have a problem using datagrid coz i dont know how to put checkbox on it.

Someone from here suggested to use listview if i want to use checkbox. But my problem now is how can i put textbox on a listview.

If i can draw a text box on a listview and will allow user to input something on it, how can i do that?

I really need your help badly. Thanks for the time ;) :)

You can set the listview property LabelEdit to automatic. That allows the user to edit each field.

Here is a piece of code that I made for any recordset size or whatnot. However I use MSFlexGrid instead of a Listview. I am sure you can figure out how to use it in Listview. It does crash if there are too many records but I added more code to handle it which I didn't post here but again it can be coded.


Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim intCount As Double
Set mRS = RecSet
With mRS
'change the number of columns in grid
msgGrid.Cols = .Fields.Count
.MoveLast

'change the number of rows in grid
If .RecordCount > 5000 Then
msgGrid.Rows = 5001
mlngStartRecord = 1
mlngLastRecord = 5000
mblnMultiple = True
Else
msgGrid.Rows = .RecordCount + 1 'add one more for header row
mlngStartRecord = 1
mlngLastRecord = .RecordCount
mblnMultiple = False
End If
.MoveFirst

' Create a header row using the field names and column widths
For i = 0 To .Fields.Count - 1
msgGrid.Row = 0
msgGrid.Col = i
'write the name to the grid cell
msgGrid.Text = .Fields(i).Name & ""
'set the header column width.
msgGrid.ColWidth(i) = CLng(Len(.Fields(i).Name)) * 104
intCount = intCount + msgGrid.ColWidth(i)
Next i

'change the width of the from to match with the width of the grid
'unless the grid is wider than the screen itself then set to screen width
If (intCount + 400) < Screen.Width Then
Me.Width = intCount + 400
Else
Me.Width = Screen.Width
Me.Left = 0
End If

'Now fill the grid with all the values in recordset
'start with 1 since 0 is header row
For i = mlngStartRecord To mlngLastRecord
'set the row current
msgGrid.Row = i
'populate each column with field value
For j = 0 To .Fields.Count - 1
'set the column
msgGrid.Col = j
'write the value to the grid cell
msgGrid.Text = .Fields(j).Value & ""
Next j
'move to the next record
.MoveNext
Next i
End With

I've posted the code we use for filling, editing, deleting etc from a listview (with Icons) here in a zipfile. To use it properly, the "edit" form needs to have the properties used by the 'viewstaticdata' form declared.
