Allowing items to be edited
Posted

A list view control has to have the LVS_EDITLABELS style for it to be editable. This style can be set when creating the control or even later by using ModifyStyle(). Once we have set the LVS_EDITLABELS style, the user can set focus on an item and click on it again to begin editing the item. However, the default behaviour of the control ignores the changes once the edit is complete. To allow the edit changes to be accepted, we have to add a handler to the LVN_ENDLABELEDIT notification. Here is a sample of a reflected message handler (e.i. the message is handled by the list view control itself, rather than the parent window).
void CMyListCtrl::OnEndLabelEdit(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
*pResult = TRUE;
}
If we set *pLResult to FALSE, the changes are ignored. Allowing edits of
sub items are not directly supported by the control but can be easily implemented.
It is covered in a different section.

I had label editing working perfectly but for some reason the ENTER key no longer functions while in edit mode. All else is normal. Anyone have an idea why this might be so?

Any Ideas? Thank

I want to check the input in OnEndLabel() function. If the input is wrong, I hope to select the current item and input again. I use SetItemState(nItem, LVIS_SELECTED | LVIS_FOCUSED ,LVIS_SELECTED|LVIS_FOCUSED );
but it does not work. The case is like you rename a folder name to a existing folder in Windows Explorer. How can I still keep focus on the editing item.
ReplyIs there a way to edit subitems?

Is there a way to edit subitems without using CEdit control on top of it, only using CListCtrl functions?
ReplyProblem with LVN_BEGINLABELEDIT

LVN_ENDLABELEDIT works fine for me, but I have a problem when I do not want to allow editing some labels. I don't want to even start the editing process, when user clicks on some labels. I have read that I have to return TRUE in respond to the LVN_BEGINLABELEDIT, but this does not work. Any suggestions?

"Reflected" message?

Can you elaborate? I'm trying to understand why the ListView handles the LVN_ENDLABELEDIT message even though the message was sent to the parent of the ListView.
