Hello,

Can someone give me an example of how to select listitem text for editing after
an icon has been added to a listview control?

I have tried every possible way of doing this, but I only get as far as having
the icon be selected after adding it and then being able to edit it after
clicking it. I want to mimic the behavior when creating a "New Folder" in
Windows.

I have set LabelEdit to lvwAutomatic. I have also tried using StartLabelEdit
and along with _BeforeLabelEdit but haven't had any luck.

If someone could give me a quick example, I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

Anthony

never mind, I must've brainfarted. DoEvents solved my problem...

    Set itmx = lvwICON.ListItems.Add
    lvwICON.StartLabelEdit
    With itmx
        .Text = "New Product"
        .Icon = 2

    End With

    DoEvents

    lvwICON.StartLabelEdit

says...

Private Sub Command1_Click()

    Dim itmX As ListItem
    Dim imgX As ListImage

   'add the empty string
    Set itmX = ListView1.ListItems.Add(, , "")

   'assign an icon (optional)
    itmX.SmallIcon = ImageList1.ListImages(1).Index

   'if the item was added
    If itmX.Index Then

      'set focus to the listview
       ListView1.SetFocus

      'set the current item to the new index
       Set ListView1.SelectedItem = itmX

      'start the label edit
       ListView1.StartLabelEdit

    End If

   'free the variables
    Set itmX = Nothing
    Set imgX = Nothing

End Sub
