RE: Listview Item identifiers

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

As often happens I managed to solve most of this soon after posting! I 
had addLV.. and setLV.. back to front.  I mistakenly said that 
setLVItemText uses the item Identifier whereas it actually needs the 
current row Index.  Found a post about LVFINDINFO and so have used this 
to create a function called findLVItemIndex that returns the current 
item index after being passed an item identifier. Seems to do the trick. 
 

However, I would still like to know how to programmatically select and 
focus a row in a ListView.
