ListView 2nd column editing possible (LVS_EDITLABELS doesn't cut it) ?

JoseD

There doesn't seem to be any system functions/styles that allow this, wich seems rahter unpractical. LVS_EDITLABELS only allows editing the 1st column.
Can someone point me in the right direction please ?

Unfortunately you cannot edit the other columns directly using the listview control provided by Windows. However, it would be possible to implement the following:

1) Register a double-click onto the list by the user
2) Find out which item was clicked
3) Pop up a window with an edit control and OK-Cancel buttons
4) When OK is pressed, copy the text from that edit control to the list view control using LVM_SETITEM

This was just one solution, you could do this in any way that you think fits the context of your program.

I hope this helps!

Hi. It's amazing that windows doesn't provide this functionaly, I was still hoping it existed but after a few hours searching I gave up.
I think I'm just gonna create a small edit control over the item...
