Listview Textbox Edit

[Illusionistx]

I'm using the following code to position a textbox over the selected listview subitem

 

dim selSubitem as ListViewItem.ListViewSumItem

   Private Sub ListView1_MouseDoubleClick(......).....
       Dim info As ListViewHitTestInfo = ListView1.HitTest(e.X, e.Y)
       'MessageBox.Show(info.Location.ToString)
       selSubItem = info.SubItem
       txtEdit.Width = info.SubItem.Bounds.Width + 2
       txtEdit.Height = info.SubItem.Bounds.Height
       txtEdit.Location = info.SubItem.Bounds.Location + ListView1.Location
       txtEdit.Text = info.SubItem.Text
       txtEdit.Visible = True
       txtEdit.Focus()
       txtEdit.SelectAll()
   End Sub

 

But this only works correctly when clicking on an actual subitem

When used on the first column in the listview it makes txtEdit.width = listview.width and not just that column

 

any ideas on how to fix this or determine whether i clicked the first column or not?

Why not check if it is the first subitem and if so adjust the width to the left bound of the second item?

perfect solution

thank you.

       If (selSubItem.Equals(ListView1.Items(info.Item.Index).SubItems(0))) Then
           txtEdit.Width = info.Item.SubItems(1).Bounds.Left
       Else
           txtEdit.Width = info.SubItem.Bounds.Width
       End If
