ListView ActiveX Refresh in VFP 6.0 SP3

[blatta]

I have a ListView in a container that will not refresh correctly. When I resize the container the Listview appears outside of the boundaries of the container! If the ActiveX is in a form it will behave itself.

It <i>sounds</i> like the List is not actually in the container, but sitting on top of (or behind) it.&nbsp;&nbsp;While in design mode, can you grab the List and move it completely outside the container?

The list is in the container. I have created a container class the holds the ActiveX and then I add the container object to a form.<br><br>

I had a similar problem a year back with Access. After much investigation, I came to the conclusion that Access container controls are crap and don't handle complex controls very well.

My solution was to *not* place the activex control within the container control, but place it on the form, as a normal control, in the appropriate position, on top of where it should be.

I then use code to resize it manually. This code is triggered when the form/container is resized. You might wanna try this for VFP - it could be the same.

TheQuestioner,

Your solution is probably right for Access, but it is unnecesary in VFP. I have written a freeware listview class which consists of a ListView inside a container. It is used by hundreds of programmers, and the resizing works fine.

(If anyone would like a copy of the class, with my compliments, you can grab it from:
