Listview problem

[bernardsylunar]

hi everyone...

i'll go straight to the problem. i create a simple intranet e-mail program which we will be using within our company. i am using a listview control to display the message. previously, i used ItemClick procedure to open a certain message. then i added a popup menu so the user would have more options when he/she right-click on the listview control.

-------
here's my code on ItemClick Procedure


Private Sub ListView1_ItemClick(ByVal Item As MSComctlLib.ListItem)
'function to open the item clicked by the user
If ListView1.ListItems.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub
'function to open a message
OpenMessage
End Sub

Private Sub ListView1_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single)
If Button = 2 Then
popupMenu Menu
End If
End Sub

-------------------------

the problem is when the user right-click on the listview control, the ItemClick procedure is triggered. so, instead of using ItemClick procedure, i shifted to DblClick Procedure to open a certain message. but everytime i double click on the listview control even without pointing at the message listed on it, the DblClick procedure is triggered and the selected message will be opened.

what i want to do is for the DblClick procedure to be triggered only when i double click on the item(s) listed and not when i double click anywhere on the listview control. how can i do that? do i missed some listview procedure or do i have to use any API? pls help..

i hope my explanation is clear.

any help will be greatly appreciated...

thanks in advance.

You can check the Selected propertry of the selected listitem. If you double-click on an item, it is selected and highlighted. If you double-click elsewhere, the selected item is selected but not highlighted.

Private Sub ListView1_DblClick()
'if there is no selected item, then exit
If ListView1.SelectedItem Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
'if selected item is selected, then open message
If ListView1.SelectedItem.Selected Then OpenMessage
End Sub[/tt]

Hypetia, thanks for your reply.

i've done what you said but the focus is always on my listview control and there's always a highlighted item. and everytime i double click anywhere on the listview control (not on the selected item), the selected item still opens.

thanks again
