User edit of label in List View Control

T

Tony29

I have a List View Control on a form for which I want to 'goto' any of the
fields (under conditions determined by program control) and allow the user to
edit the text in that field and when finished typing (eg. <enter> key) I can
go back into program control with possibly an AfterUpdate event.

I know I can identify the required 'field' on the List View Control using
Me!cControlName.listitems(index) or
Me!cControlName.listitems(itemindex).ListSubItems(fieldindex), but how do I
'goto' it awaiting for the user to type the text and hit <enter>.

If it's not possible to 'goto' the field in the style that I've described
above, I thought it might be possible to place a Text Box (using position and
size information derived from the relevant 'field' properties) over the top
of the field on the List View Control. Programatically this works fine (and
should look to the user as if they are actually typing into the field on the
List View Control) ... but the Text Box is obscurred by the List View Control
and can't be seen by the user - how do I bring it to the front?

Thanks for your thoughts on this ... Tony
