LVN_BEGINLABELEDIT - PostMessage 1

[williegofar]

Hi,

I have a dialog app that contains a list control.
I want to be able to press F2 to edit a list control entry.
My code is ready to handle the F2 key press and ready to handle LVN_BEGINLABELEDIT & LVN_ENDLABELEDIT (I know because I stumbled onto the fact that holding down the left mouse button and clicking the right button triggers a LVN_BEGINLABELEDIT event!).

What I can't do is trigger a LVN_BEGINLABELEDIT event from OnKeydown... I've tried PostMessage but without success.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

LVN_BEGINLABELEDIT is being send from the listview to its parent to notify that label editing is about to start. It is NOT a message the listview will respond to.

If you want to have the listview start label editing you should send it the LVM_EDITLABEL message.
Greetings,
Rick
