ListView Won't Dropdown With Correct Methods

[spawn666948]

Hey, Everyone

I can't seem to get the ListView to work on my Access 2000. I inserted
the MS ListView Control. Let's call it "LV" for short. The, the
Reference, MS Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP6), is automatically
added. The problem is when I go into code and type "me.LV.", the
proper dropdowns don't appear. I'm expecting to see ".ListItems .",
".ColumnHeaders .", etc. But, instead I see, ".about.", ".applicati on."
For the life of me, I can't figure out what's wrong. I do this in VB
all time but needed to do it in an ACC app.

Oh, yeah, I just tried it on my other PC with Access 2003. The result
is the same. I can't seem to access the expected methods for the
object.

Thanks.

I think it's a problem with intellisense. You should still be able to use
the methods and properties even if they don't appear.

Re: ListView Won't Dropdown With Correct Methods

The Access Host OLE Container places a wrapper around the ActiveX
control.
Me.LV.Object.wh atever

To make it easier for you and Intellisense to get along most developers
explicitly unwrapp the Access control wrapper.

At the top of your form in the General Declarations area do something
like:

Private lview as ListView

In the Form's Load event do:

set lview = Me.LV.Object


Now Intellisense will work properly against your lview object ref.
