Using ADO and the ListView control

Written By TheVBProgramer.

(Customer Table Maintenance Example)

This VB6 tutorial demonstrates uses of ADO not covered in other tutorials on this site. The sample project presented

here is a simple "one-table" database application. It works with a table of customer data (name, address, phone,

etc.) and allows the user to view, add, update, and delete customer records. Also, this sample project uses the

ListView control to display the records that the application will be working with. The use of the ListView control is

covered at the end of this topic.

The sample application uses an MS-Access database called Cust.mdb, consisting of one table called Customer. The

columns of the table are defined as follows:

Column Name Data Type

CustID Number (Long Integer)

LastName Text (50)

FirstName Text (50)

Address Text (50)

City Text (25)

State Text (2)

Zip Text (5)

Screen-shots of the sample application are shown below.

Initially, this screen is in "read-only" mode; only the list portion is active. The data entry fields on the bottom half of

the screen are grayed out are not enterable. The buttons to add, update, and delete are available; the buttons to

save or cancel are not available. A screen-shot of the screen in this state is shown below:

To add a customer, click the "Add" button. This will enable the fields on the bottom half of the screen. The buttons to

add, update, and delete will become unavailable; the buttons to save or cancel will be available. A screen-shot of the

screen in this state is shown below:

You can then enter the values for the new record:

When you are done entering data into the fields, click the Save button, which will cause the new record to be added

to the list and will cause the screen to revert back to its initial "read-only" state. A screen-shot of the screen in this

state is shown below:

To modify data for an existing customer record, click the customer record in the list to highlight it and click the

"Update" button. This will enable the fields on the bottom half of the screen. The buttons to add, update, and delete

will become unavailable; the buttons to save or cancel will be available. When you are done changing the data in the

fields, click the Save button, which will cause the record to be updated in the list and will cause the screen to revert

back to its initial "read-only" state.

To delete a customer record, click the customer record in the list to highlight it and click the "Delete" button. The

following message will be displayed:

Responding "Yes" to the confirmation prompt will cause the applciation to delete the record and remove it from the

list.

To exit the Customer Maintenance screen, click the "Close" button when the screen is in its "read only" state. The

Close button will not be available when you have an "add" or "update" pending. If you attempt to close the screen

with the Windows "X" button while you have an "add" or "update" pending, the following message will be displayed:

Highlights of the code, as it relates to ADO, are presented below.

Three ADO object variables (representing and ADO Connection, Command, and Recordset, respectively) are

declared at the form level. This a one-form application (with a handful of supporting modules), so in this case, form-

level scope is serviceable.

Private mobjConn As ADODB.Connection

Private mobjCmd As ADODB.Command

Private mobjRst As ADODB.Recordset

The database is opened in the "ConnectToDB" Sub.

First, the Connection object variable mobjConn is instantiated by setting it to New ADODB.Connection. Then the

ConnectionString property is set. A difference between this sample application and the ones in the previous topic is

that this application uses a DSN-less connection meaning that the steps we went through in the previous ADO

examples to set up a DSN are NOT required here. As you may recall from the previous examples, using a DSN

connection in your code requires that a DSN be set up on the computer that your program is running on. This restricts

where your code can run. On the other hand, a DSN-less connection specifies all the parameters necessary to connect

to the database and allows your program to be run on different machines without having to set up a new DSN.

In the case of our sample application, two parameters are required to connect to the Access database: first, the

Provider parameter (which specifies Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; and second, the Data Source parameter, which

specifies the full path of the Access mdb file. In the case of this sample application, it is expected that the mdb file

reside in the same folder as the VB project files, or, if this application is compiled, the database should reside in the

same location as the executable (.exe) file. The application path is returned by the programmer-defined function

GetAppPath (which contains the code to use the App.Path built-in function and append the backslash to it if

necessary). Note that the syntax of the ConnectionString requires each parameter name to be followed by an equal

sign (=) followed by the value. Each parameter name / value pair is separated by a semicolon (;). Embedded spaces

in the parameter names and values are evaluated properly. For example, if your application was located in the folder

"C:\My VB Apps\Database Apps", the content of the ConnectionString would be:

Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\My VB Apps\Database Apps\Cust.mdb"

Note: If you connect to other databases such as Oracle or SQL Server, different parameters (such as Server, UID,

and PWD) will be required; however the syntax rules described above still apply.

After the ConnectionString has been set, the Open method is then used to open the connection to the database.

The Command object mobjCmd is then instantiated by setting it to New ADODB.Command. The Command object

represents a command to execute against a database. Command objects are often used to create recordsets or

execute action queries. A Command object must use a Connection, either by establishing its own, or by using an

existing connection. To use an existing connection, set the Command object's ActiveConnection property to the open

Connection object, as shown in the code below. This routine also sets the Command object's CommandType

property, which tells ADO how to interpret the contents of the CommandText property (which we will be setting to

SQL statements in various places in the application). Since this application will always be passing the Command

object a textual SQL string, the value is set to the constant adCmdText (other possible values for CommandType

include adCmdTable, which would cause the CommandText to be evaluated as a database table, and

NOLQLNO r ëáåÖ=̂ a l =~åÇ=íÜÉ=i áëísáÉï =Åçåíêçä=ö=sáëì ~ä=_~ëáÅ=S=Es_SF

SLRPï ï ï Kî ÄSKì ëLíì íçêá~äëLì ëáåÖJ~ÇçJ~åÇJäáëíî áÉï JÅçåíêçäJî ÄS

adCmdStoredProc, which would cause the CommandText to evaluated as the name of a stored procedure).

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Set mobjConn = New ADODB.Connection

mobjConn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" _

& "Data Source=" _

& GetAppPath _

& "Cust.mdb"

mobjConn.Open

Set mobjCmd = New ADODB.Command

Set mobjCmd.ActiveConnection = mobjConn

mobjCmd.CommandType = adCmdText

End Sub

In the "LoadCustomerListView" Sub, the contents of the Customer table is loaded into the listview. First, a SQL

SELECT statement is built in the String variable strSQL. The String variable strSQL is then assigned to the

CommandText property of the Command object with the statement

mobjCmd.CommandText = strSQL

Following this, the Recordset object mobjRst is then populated by assigning it the result of the Execute method of the

Command object in the statement

Set mobjRst = mobjCmd.Execute

Note: A Recordset object created with the Command.Execute method always creates a forward-only, read-only

recordset ("firehose" cursor).

The code then loops through the recordset, populating each row of the listview. At the bottom of the Sub, the

recordset object is set to Nothing, which disconnects it from the database. All manipulations of the data from the

point on are handled through the listview, until it is time to update or insert a record back into the database.

It should be noted that the process of loading the entire contents of a table into a listview in this fashion works well

for tables with a small number of rows you do not want to do this for recordsets containing thousands of rows.

In the "cmdSave_Click" event procedure, depending on whether an add or update has been initiated, a SQL

INSERT or UPDATE statement is built with the String variable strSQL. The String variable strSQL is then assigned to

the CommandText property of the Command object with the statement

mobjCmd.CommandText = strSQL

The INSERT or UPDATE action query is then executed with the statement

mobjCmd.Execute

Note that the record ID plays an important role. For an add, the new record ID is obtained by calling the programmer-

defined function GetNextCustID, which is described a little later below. For an update, the record ID of the currently

selected item in the listview is used in the UPDATE statement to update the record. In either case, the contents of the

listview is updated approriately to reflect the insert or update.

When we need to add a new record, a new, unique record ID must generated. In this particular sample

application, the record ID is defined as a Long Integer in the database. The GetNextCustID function shown below

uses the SQL MAX function to find the highest existing value for the CustID field, adds one to it, and returns that

value to the caller. It should be noted that if the CustID field was defined as an Access AutoNumber field, the logic of

this application would have to be modified accordingly.

For a delete action, after we have confirmed that the user truly wants to delete the record, we set the

CommandText property of the Command object directly with the necessary SQL statement as shown below:

mobjCmd.CommandText = "DELETE FROM Customer WHERE CustID = " & lngCustID

The DELETE action query is then executed with the statement

Using the ListView Control

In this section of the article, code related to the use of the ListView will be explained. To incorporate the ListView

control into your project, you must add the Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 component group to your

toolbox (via Project -> Components). This is the same group that includes the ImageList, Toolbar, StatusBar, etc.

In this project, a ListView control named lvwCustomer and an ImageList control named imlLVIcons were added to

the form. (If you want to use icons with your ListView, you must store those icons in an ImageList control that will be

tied to the ListView control.) An icon representing "customers" was added to the imlLVIcons ImageList; this image

was given a Key property of "Custs".

The following properties of the ListView were set at design time:

Property Value Notes

View 3 lvwReport The ListView is used prominently in the MS-Windows interface. It is used

to display the lists of files and folders in the Windows Explorer and My

Computer applications. In those applications, you can go to the View

menu and specify Large Icons, Small Icons, List, or Details, and the

appearance of the file list is modified accordingly. With the VB ListView

control, the 0-lvwIcon (the default), 1-lvwSmallIcon, 2-lvwList, and 3-

lvwReport settings for the View property correspond respectively to the

Windows Explorer / My Computer View menu options listed above.

Setting the ListView View property to 3-lvwReport enables the display of

data in a columnar, grid-like fashion.

LabelEdit 1 - lvwManual In a Windows Explorer or My Computer ListView, you know that you can

rename a file by clicking once on its text label, then clicking it again. With

the VB ListView control, the editing of the text label is possible when the

LabelEdit property is set to 0-lvwAutomatic (which is the default). To

prevent the user from modifying the data in the text label (which is the

first column of the list when using the 3-lvwReport View), the LabelEdit

property must be set to 1-lvwManual.

FullRowSelect True This is a Boolean property that is applicable only when View is set to 3-

NOLQLNO r ëáåÖ=̂ a l =~åÇ=íÜÉ=i áëísáÉï =Åçåíêçä=ö=sáëì ~ä=_~ëáÅ=S=Es_SF

NPLRPï ï ï Kî ÄSKì ëLíì íçêá~äëLì ëáåÖJ~ÇçJ~åÇJäáëíî áÉï JÅçåíêçäJî ÄS

lvwReport. If False (the default), only the first column will be highlighted

when a row is selected. If True, the entire row will be highlighted when

selected.

GridLines True This is a Boolean property that is applicable only when View is set to 3-

lvwReport. If True, grid lines will border the cells of the ListView. The

default is False.

On the Property Pages, Image Lists tab, the "Small" Icon Image List was set to imlLVIcons (the ImageList that was

added to the form).

In the Form_Load event, a call is made to the programmer-defined Sub "SetupCustLVCols". Here, we set up the

columns for the ListView by using the Add method of the ListView's ColumnHeaders collection. The arguments for the

Add method, all optional, are: index, key, text, width, alignment, icon. In the code below, only the text and the width

arguments are specified. The text argument specifies the text that will appears in the column header. A common

technique to specify the width is to use a percentage of the ListView as a whole. In the code below, the First Name

will take up 15% of the ListView's width; the Last Name will take up 12%, and so on. In order to prevent a horizontal

scroll bar from appearing at the bottom of the ListView, keep the total width under 100% (in the code below, the

percentages add up to 98%). (If you want to display many columns, or certain columns must be particularly wide, the

total percentage can certainly exceed 100%, in which case a horizontal scroll bar will automatically appear at the

bottom of the ListView, and the user will have to scroll to see one or more columns.) Note that you may specify 0 for

the column width, in which case you create a "hidden" column, useful for storing data that the user need not see (in

this case, the "ID" column). The alignment property is not specified for any of the columns in the code below, so by

default, all of the columns will be left-aligned. The other alignment options are centered or right-aligned. The

alignment argument for left, center, and right are specified with the constants lvwColumnLeft, lvwColumnCenter, and

lvwColumnRight, respectively. The code for this Sub is as follows:

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Private Sub SetupCustLVCols()

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

With lvwCustomer

.ColumnHeaders.Clear

.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "First Name", .Width * 0.15

.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Last Name", .Width * 0.12

.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Address", .Width * 0.2

.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "City", .Width * 0.15

.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "St", .Width * 0.06

.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Zip", .Width * 0.1

.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Phone #", .Width * 0.2

.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "ID", 0

End With

End Sub

Also in the Form_Load event, following the call to "SetupCustLVCols" is the call to the "LoadCustomerListView"

Sub. We looked at this Sub earlier to examine the ADO/database aspects of the code; now we will look at it to

examine the ListView aspects of the code.

A local ListItem object, objCurrLI, is declared. ListItem objects represent the entries of the ListView; they are the

components of the ListView's ListItems collection.

NOLQLNO r ëáåÖ=̂ a l =~åÇ=íÜÉ=i áëísáÉï =Åçåíêçä=ö=sáëì ~ä=_~ëáÅ=S=Es_SF

NQLRPï ï ï Kî ÄSKì ëLíì íçêá~äëLì ëáåÖJ~ÇçJ~åÇJäáëíî áÉï JÅçåíêçäJî ÄS

After the recordset has been created, we first use the Clear method to remove all existing ListItem objects from the

ListView (this step is technically not needed in the case of this particular application, but it is good practice to do this

there could be situations where you need to reload a ListView, and failure to clear the existing items will result in

extraneous or duplicate items in the list).

As we loop through the Recordset, for each record we create a new ListItem object by invoking the Add method of

the ListItems collection, setting the reference to the new ListItem to the objCurrLI variable. The arguments for the

Add method, all optional, are: index, key, text, icon, smallicon. We are using only the text and the smallicon arguments.

The text argument sets the Text property of the ListView; it is the text that will appear in the first column of the

ListView (in this case, it is the FirstName field from the recordset). The smallicon argument refers to the image that will

appear to the left of each ListItem; here we specify "Custs", which is the Key of the desired image in the imlLVIcons

ImageList control (which we tied to this ListView control).

The remaining fields of the recordset are assigned to the corresponding SubItems entries of the current ListItem.

Whenever you add more than one ColumnHeader object, you create corresponding SubItem elements that are

associated with each ListItem. The SubItems collection is a string array of data associated with a ListItem.

ColumnHeaders and SubItems are "1-based" collections however, the upper bound of the SubItems is always one

greater than the upper bound of the ColumnHeaders. This is because ColumnHeaders(1) corresponds to the

ListItem's Text property; ColumnHeaders(2) through ColumnHeaders(n) correspond to the ListItem's SubItems(1)

through SubItems(n 1). Note that constants are used for the SubItem indexes (you could alternatively just use

hard-coded numbers to refer to the indexes). These constants were defined at the form-level:

' Customer LV SubItem Indexes ...

Private Const mlngCUST_LAST_IDX As Long = 1

Private Const mlngCUST_ADDR_IDX As Long = 2

Private Const mlngCUST_CITY_IDX As Long = 3

Private Const mlngCUST_ST_IDX As Long = 4

Private Const mlngCUST_ZIP_IDX As Long = 5

Private Const mlngCUST_PHONE_IDX As Long = 6

Private Const mlngCUST_ID_IDX As Long = 7

After the loop has completed, we then check the Count property of the ListItems collection. As long as at least one

record was loaded, we set the SelectedItem property of the ListView to the first ListItem. The SelectedItem property

of the ListView is a reference to the ListItem that is currently selected. (Normally, the SelectedItem property is set

when the user clicks on a ListItem.) We then call the ListView's ItemClick event (lvwCustomer_ItemClick). The

ItemClick event expects a ListItem argument, so we pass it the selected item that we just set. (Normally, the

ItemClick event is fired when the user clicks on a ListItem.) We will explore the code for the lvwCustomer_ItemClick

event shortly.

The code for "LoadCustomerListView" is shown below, with the ListView-related code in bold:

The ListView's ItemClick event is fired when the user clicks on a ListItem in the ListView. VB passes an

argument called Item to the event, which refers to the ListItem that was clicked. In the lvwCustomer_ItemClick event

below, we populate the textboxes in the "Current Record" frame of the form with the data from the currently selected

ListItem.

End Sub

The ListView's ColumnClick event is fired when the user clicks on one of the ListView's column headers. VB

passes an argument called ColumnHeader to the event, which refers to the column header that was clicked. What

we want to do is sort the ListView by the column that was clicked. The ListView control has three properties related

to sorting:

Sorted is a Boolean indicating whether or not the ListView is currently sorted.

SortKey is an integer representing the column currently sorted. Zero specifies that the ListView is sorted on the value

of the Text property (i.e., the first column). A number from 1 to the number of SubItems specifies that the ListView is

sorted on the value of that SubItem. The SubItemIndex property of the ColumnHeader object returns the

appropriate value.

SortOrder is a numeric value indicating whether the sort is ascending or descending. The values can be specified with

the constants lvwAscending or lvwDescending.

The first part of the code in the lvwCustomer_ColumnClick event checks to see if the user clicked on the column that

the ListView is currently sorted on. If so, it toggles the ascending / descending value. Otherwise, it sorts the ListView

on the clicked column in ascending order. The second part of the code makes sure that, if an item was selected prior

to the sort, it is still visible after the sort. The EnsureVisible method of the ListItem object checks that the ListItem is

currently viewable in the ListView if not, it automatically scrolls the ListView to make it viewable.

'-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Private Sub lvwCustomer_ColumnClick(ByVal ColumnHeader As SComctlLib.ColumnHeader)

'-------------------------------------------------------------------------

' sort the listview on the column clicked

If Not lvwCustomer.SelectedItem Is Nothing Then

End If

End Sub

Next, we will look at the ListView's role in cmdSave_Click event. We looked at this Sub earlier to examine the

ADO/database aspects of the code; now we will look at it to examine the ListView aspects of the code.

A ListItem object variable, objNewListItem, is declared at the local level. This will be used on the "ADD" side (i.e., if we

are saving a newly added record). On the "ADD" side, after we have set up the SQL to do an INSERT, we use the Add

method of the ListItems collection to add a new ListItem. The reference to the new ListItem is assigned to the

objNewListItem variable. Note that the first name that has been entered into the txtFirst textbox is used for the Text

property of the newly added item. The next statement calls the programmer-defined Sub PopulateListItem, passing it

the newly added ListItem as an argument (the code for PopulateListItem will be shown a little later below, but all it

does is assign the values of the textboxes used in the add or update to the corresponding SubItems of the ListItem

object passed in to the Sub). Following this, the new Customer ID (that was established when GetNextCustID was

called) is assigned to the corresponding SubItem of the new ListItem. The EnsureVisible method is invoked to ensure

that the user can see the newly added item. The SelectedItem property is then set to reference the newly added

item. To clean things up, the objNewListItem variable is then set to Nothing.

On the "UPDATE" side, our job is to modify the SubItem values of the currently selected item to reflect the user's

changes. Here, we get the value for the lngIDField variable from the "hidden" Cust ID column of the currently selected

ListItem of the ListView. This variable is then used in the building of the UPDATE SQL statement. We then set the Text

property of the currently selected item to the first name entered in the txtFirst textbox, and then we call the

PopulateListItem Sub, passing the the currently selected ListItem.

The code for the "cmdSave_Click" event procedure is shown below, with the ListView-related code in bold:

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Private Sub cmdSave_Click()

End If

mobjCmd.CommandText = strSQL

mobjCmd.Execute

SetFormState True

mblnUpdateInProgress = False

End Sub

The code for the programmer-defined Sub "PopulateListItem" (discussed above) is shown below:

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Private Sub PopulateListItem(pobjListItem As ListItem)

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

With pobjListItem

.SubItems(mlngCUST_LAST_IDX) = txtLast.Text

.SubItems(mlngCUST_ADDR_IDX) = txtAddr.Text

.SubItems(mlngCUST_CITY_IDX) = txtCity.Text

.SubItems(mlngCUST_ST_IDX) = txtState.Text

.SubItems(mlngCUST_PHONE_IDX) _

= IIf(txtArea.Text = "", _

"", _

"(" & txtArea.Text & ") " & txtPrfx.Text & "-" & txtLine.Text)

End With

End Sub

The last bit of ListView-related code we will look at is in the cmdDelete_Click event procedure. In the first

section of highlighted code, we use the SelectedItem to get the first and last name of the customer to be deleted so

that we can present the message "Are you sure that you want to delete Customer so-and-so?"; we also get the Cust

ID for use in building the SQL string. Provided that the user goes ahead with the delete, we must refresh the ListView

accordingly: we are going to remove the currently selected item, and we also want to establish a "new" selected item

(we will store the index of the new selected item in the variable lngNewSelIndex). We first test to see if the item to

be deleted is the last item of the ListView if it is, then the "new" selected item's index will be one less than currently

selected item's index (for example, if you have five items and you delete the fifth one, the "new" last item will be the

fourth one) otherwise the "new" selected item's index will be the same as the currently selected item's index (for

example, if you have five items and you delete the third one, the item that was previously fourth will now be third).

The selected item is then removed with the Remove method of the ListItems collection. Provided that we did not

delete the very last record of the table, we set the "new" selected item (using the value of the lngNewSelIndex

variable) and then call the lvwCustomer_ItemClick event procedure, passing it that new item which will cause the

textboxes to be populated with the data from the newly selected item.

DoEvents

Of course this command will slow very much the loading proccess but it is very fancy to see a progress

bar and helps the user to check if everything is OK.

I believe this command is the missing part of your code.

Questions...

If I understand right, you have one combo box in your new form and this combo should be filled with

all the first names of costumers? So you can choose from this combo the customer and display his

details to another combos or text boxes?

Or every time you click on a customer from the list, the combo box will be filled with all the details of

the selected costumer?

Looking forward for your explainations in order to help you.

combobox

hi

exactly what you said before

this:

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

"you have one combo box in your new form and this combo should be filled with all the first names

of costumers? So you can choose from this combo the customer and display his details to another

combos or text boxes?"

i want to display the detail of the customers in the text box.

Done!

Let's say your new form is Form1, the combo for customers Combo1 and a control array of

5 text boxes to display in each one all the reamining details of the chosen customer from

the combo box. Change the Index property of each text box to: 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Here are the steps of the code in your new form:

Private Sub Form_Load()

For i = 1 To frmCustMaint.lvwCustomer.ListItems.Count

Combo1.AddItem frmCustMaint.lvwCustomer.ListItems(i) & " " &

frmCustMaint.lvwCustomer.ListItems(i).SubItems(1)

Next

Combo1.Text = Combo1.List(0)

End Sub

Private Sub Combo1_Click()

For i = 2 To 6

Text1(i).Text = frmCustMaint.lvwCustomer.ListItems(Combo1.ListIndex + 1).SubItems(i)

Next

End Sub

If you delete a customer while your new form is open, your combo will not be updated and

when you choose the deleted customer from it there will be a run-time error. You have to

close your form and open it again to avoid the run-time error. Or you have to copy the

code for filling the combo box in the code of the delete button.

For anything else, please ask me. I hope this sample will satisfy you!

this error means, the object

this error means, the object which you are trying to use hasnt been set .. like

you use the statement

set Obj = listView.Addtime (...)

if this Obj hasnt been set and you try to use it you will get this "Object not set" error. The objects which are

not set are actually nothing, and when you try to use them, you are trying to use nothing.

Sum the money

You have to use the SUM() in a SQL statement.

Let's say that the money you enter every time is stored in the table field named MoneyOwned. As you

can understand, the label should display the sum of the MoneyOwned field. Here is what you have to

do:

mobjCmd.CommandText = "SELECT SUM(MoneyOwned) as PayMe FROM table_name"

SET mobjRst = mobjCmd.Execute

And finally: Label1.Caption = Format(mobjRst!PayMe, "$ #,##0.00")

I believe this should work! Looking forward the results...

List View

Hi,

is it possible to type directly into the list view and save? i have a listview that i have customezed with column headers

and codes to include grid lines now i just wanna be able to type text and save to an access data base, the followin is

my code for grid lines

Private Sub chkGridLines_Click()

Dim rStyle As Long

Dim r As Long

'get the current ListView style

rStyle = SendMessageLong(txtSiteHist.hwnd, LVM_GETEXTENDEDLISTVIEWSTYLE, 0&, 0&)

If chkSelectMode.Value = 0 Then

'remove the extended bit

rStyle = rStyle Xor LVS_EX_GRIDLINES

ElseIf chkSelectMode.Value = 1 Then

'set the extended bit

rStyle = rStyle Or LVS_EX_GRIDLINES

End If

'set the new ListView style

r = SendMessageLong(txtSiteHist.hwnd, LVM_SETEXTENDEDLISTVIEWSTYLE, 0&, rStyle)

End Sub

i would have loved to post a screen shot of the list view with grid lines, anyways please assist me with this problem

or if there is another alternative control that can help me achieve the same results, Thanks,

Great Help

I'm studying vb6 for a while and I find it difficult to understand how to use the ListView control. This Tutorial thought

me how in a couple of hours.

To further my study, I created my own program using ListView. It was a success... but... with one funny difference.

The selected record loses its highlight when I press any action buttons. I scanned my codes for possible errors, even

compared it line by line with the tutorial... Until, I check each object properties. Fortunately, the first object I checked

is the ListView control itself, its my newest control anyway. The problem lies in the ListView Property:

HideSelection (default is True)

with the following description:

Determines whether the selected item will display as selected "when the ListView loses focus".

Which is exactly was what happening as I navigate my training project. I'm actually happy to see this property, now

my training project is almost as good as the tutorial. I hope, when I create a real application, I can surpass the

tutorial though.

Thanks, its a great help and exercise.

Hi,

I think the line "If Not ValidateFormFields Then Exit Sub" means if the validation of the data is not successful

program will not proceed with the Save operation. The function should contain whatever the validation is

necessary for each inputted data.

To the author of the program,

Thanks a lot, this has helped me so much....

Hi.

I´ve a question about this great VB example.

No it cannot.

No it cannot.

lvw with vba cannot ? Yes it can

Hello, I'm currently using it in a MsAccess vba project

To use it :

in your MsAccess project, call the vba dev interface (ALT + F11 key)

Tools > References > search for: c:\windows\system32\mscomct2.ocx

it will add Microsoft Common Controls-2 6.0 (SP4) to your project and then you will be able to drag/drop the

Listview control into your form

give it a name (lvwMain for instance)

And then in your project you simply declare and set the listview object;

note : in fact in MsAccess you don't have to declare the object if you code into your form, it is recognized by its

name already ( me.LvwMain....)

Dim Lvw1 as MSComctlLib.ListView

set Lvw1 = me.lvwMain.Object

Dim lvWidth As Integer

lvWidth = Me.lvwMain.Width

'Set listview object presentation

With lvw1

.View = lvwReport

.GridLines = True

.FullRowSelect = True

.LabelEdit = lvwManual

.ListItems.Clear

End With

'add column headers

With lvw1

.ColumnHeaders.Clear

.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "{@COID}", lvWidth * 0.10, lvwColumnLeft

hope this will help;

and anyway, the sample is useful, quite complete and clear, thanks again
