listview mystery:)

[juli jul]

Hello,
Maybe someone can tell me hoe can I do this:
I have 2 columns in my list but I want to edit the values that appear in
the secound column . I know that it's possible to edit only the first
column in listview but maybe I can change their indexes and somehow to
edit the secound column?
Thanks a lot!

Re: listview mystery:)

Add the ListViewExEdit component extender. Configure it and you will be
able to edit any of the columns, did you see the sample they have
included?

Juli,

First, you have to register in http://www.codeproject.com. Then
download the source files from here

http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/controlextenderlibrary.asp

The ListViewExEdit is a custom control, the guys from CodeProject have
created it. You can download it (along with other useful components for
the listview) from the URL above. Do you know how to work with custom
controls and assemblies, do you?

Best,

Philip.

Re: listview mystery:)

OK. Load the .sln file in Visual Studio. Compile the
ControlExtender Library. You will find the resulting
ControlExtender Library.dll in the ControlExtender Library\Bin folder. I
suggest you to place this dll in the place where you store your custom
assemblies. GAC is not an option now because this assembly is not
strongly named.

Now, in your project right-click on the toolbox palette,click the
Browse button and locate the assembly. Click OK and the custom controls
will be added into your General tab of the Toolbox.

Also, if you like to see the demo of how to use these controls - when
open the .sln file of the components compile and demo application.

Regards,

Philip

Re: listview mystery:)

Thanks!
I did all that BUT after I added it to the toolbox and it even appears
on my form button I still can't edit the secound column?
I changed the properties of the listViewExEdit1 to be set to my list
view and added the columns with the names they appear on the original
listview and made the editable but still it's not working,why?

Thank you very much!

Re: listview mystery:)

Why do not you see how this is done in the demo project which is placed
in the ExtenderTest folder?

Hello,I did that but somehow there is no "connection " between the
listview and the listViewExEdit - maybe I need some command that forces
the listview to refer to the IsEditable command (I didn't find it in
example).
Maybe you could tell me how?
Thank you very much!

Re: listview mystery:)

OK. Here is what you need to do:

1. Add ListView to the form.
2. Add ListViewExEdit.
3. Bind ListViewExEdit. Listview to the ListView.
4. Add the columns to the ListView.
5. Add ColumnSettings in the ListViewExEdit
6. Set isEditable to true to the columns you like to have editing
capabilities.
7. Voila!

Hope this works now.

Philip.

Re: listview mystery:)


Hello,
I did all that : step by step but still can edit only the first column
of the listview.
Maybe there is something in the listview properties I should change?
Thank you very much for your help!
