Liberty BASIC Programmer's Encyc - Listview, trapping double click

JanetTerra Oct 10, 2006

Trapping a Double Click in a Listview

Demo by Eldron Gill (- eaglesoar)

Editor's Note
A listview is an advanced listbox. The listview control is typically used to display members of a data collection in table format. Each column has its own column header. The listview is far more complex than the ordinary listbox. While the listbox is easily populated from its associated array, the listview requires each item to be individually assigned. This assignment is accomplished with a rather complicated series of structs and API calls.

A listview demo is included in Alyce Watson's (- Alyce) Liberty 4 Companion ebook. Alyce's demo shows how to construct a listview, add and delete items to the listview, and make a listview selection by highlighting an item and then clicking the select button. Eldron Gill takes Alyce's demo one step further by allowing selection from a double mouse click on the listview item itself.

Capturing mouse clicks in a listview requires a callback function, not easily handled even with Liberty BASIC. Fortunately, Dennis McKinney (- DennisMcK) offers the free msghook.dll designed specifically for this purpose. Here is Eldron's modification of Alyce's listview demo to allow selection by a double left mouse click. As stated in the code, msghook.dll must be accessible within the program folder.

It should be mentioned that Eldron sought and received permission from both Alyce and Dennis before submitting this demo. Our thanks to all three for this collaboration and sharing of resources and knowledge.
