Selecting sub-items in listview control

[mickn66]

Hi there.

I have a listview control, with 5 items, each with 5 subitems in 5 columns. It is a 5X5 grid. I want the user to be able to select either an item or any of the sub items. In otherwords, any of the 25 total items in the 5x5 grid. But all I can make selectable is the 5 items and non of the sub-items. There must be some way of making those sub-items selectable, right? Any info would be greatly appreciated

If I understand you correctly, then you should set the FullRowSelect Property to TRUE.

Thank you Jaycee, but that's not quite what I want. Setting that property causes you to select the whole row at a time, but not one sub-item at a time. At least that's what's happening to me with the FullRowSelect set to true. Maybe I've accidentaly set some other property that is causing that to happen, but I don't know what it could be

Thanks for answering though

What is the view of your listview control?? Is it lvwReport?

 

[mickn66]

It is "details" The only options i have are LargeIcon SmallIcon Details and List - I saw someone else mention "report" somewhere else - maybe details is the .Net version of report? Anyway, I have to use the details view because that's the only one that will allow me to show text in all the columns for some reason.

Are you using Visual Basic 6?

Thanks again

Yes. I assumed you were too, my bad. If you have questions about .NET you should post in the .NET forum.
