dropdown in listview...

[lidds]

Could anyone please help with example code in vb.net on how to create a dropdown list within a listview column.

 

i.e

If I have a listview which displayed the following(Name being one column and Access being the second):

 

Name Access

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

Simon User

Bob User

Fred Admin

John User

 

But I wanted it so when the user identifies the Access column a dropdown list appears displaying 'User' and 'Admin'

 

Example of code would be greatly appreshiated.

 

Thanks

I only speak C# unfortunatly :).

 

But what I guess you need to do is provide a way of hosting a control in a SubItem. I've nver done such personally, but I know there's articles on the subject over at CodeProject(.com), I know there's C# code there atleast. But if you need it badly perhaps you could try and port it. Or use the control as a dll and load it into your VB project.

 

I myself will be needing somethign simular in the near future, but I want a progressbar, and my first stop will be to search over there for clever ideas.

Why not use a datagrid?

There's a lot of articles on how to have a dropdown in a datagrid

http://www.syncfusion.com/FAQ/WinForms/FAQ_c44c.asp#q480q is just one and a good place to find other tricks or treats ;)

They have a username password datagrid that might be of some help.
