Focusing on the listview item problem...

[DimkaNewtown]

I need to select a listviewitem in my ListView.

 

So sure, I do:

 

SomeListViewItem.Select();

 

but if it's off the screen I need the listview to scroll down to it

 

SomeListViewItem.Focus();

 

doesn't seem to work.

 

 

has anyone done something like that before?

the first line sets focus on the control, the second one selects an item (row)

lvw.Focus()
'select third item
lvw.Items.Item(2).Selected = True

Yes that works, but the thing is if I want to select Item 5 for example, and there is only enough space to show the first 3 items. The ListView will not scroll down to show the Item 5. It will select it all-right, and when you manually scroll down you will see it selected but programmatically no.

Okay I just answered my own question.

 

the method is

ListViewItem.EnsureVisible()

 

doh, i feel retarded now :(

I think Azrael could have used this information about a month ago :)

 

Here's the other thread

I saw that thread but since I have no experience in MFC I decided to keep looking for a simpler solution. :)
