Hi,

I'm working on a Windows application and want to use some visual control
like the one used in Visual Studio IDE, for setting properties in the
Properties Windows.
Can I use the listView control for that purpose?
I tried to use it, configuring on details view and two columns, but couldn't
get that users edit the cells in the second column for entering values.

Could anyone help me with that?
Thanks in advance
Eric

Eric,

Why not use the PropertyGrid control?

Set the LabelEdit property to true.

When I do that, the user can edit the text in the cells in the first column,
but not the values in the second column, actually corresponding to subitem
collection items.
I guess I will try the Properties control, but thanks anyway, and if you
know how I can let the user edit the values in the second column as well,
please let me know it.
thanks again
Eric
