LVM_FINDITEM or Hot Key's in list views

[meanbite]

I have the need to do a hot key search in any column in a list view control. The controls in question are sorted, manipulated, and populated through code. I have been looking at LVM_FINDITEM but have had no success. What I want is the ability to hit a particular key and go to a predefined sub item whos first character matches the key pressed. Any information is greatly appreciated.

why don't you use the FindItem method of the listview. It allows you to search subitems, too. the lvwSubItem constant in Argument 2 allows you to do that.

The problem I have found with that is that I am also sorting the list and the list inexes are not being sortecd, only the "view" of the list. This is another problem that I am working on. This causes the items not to be found even though they exist.
