.NET Forum / Languages / Managed C++ / May 2006How to make a listview static .. .ie no user can use it.
Is it possible to stop user from interacting /editing/ changing data/ changing look with a list view. Gerry. > Is it possible to stop user from interacting /editing/ changing data/ > changing look with a list view. You'd probably be better off posting again in the user interface group: microsoft.public.win32.programmer.ui That said, there usually are at least two ways to do something like this. One is to disable the control - check the docs for EnableWindow(). The other is to subclass the control - possibly subverting the handling of keyboard and mouse input. Regards, Will > Is it possible to stop user from interacting /editing/ changing data/ > changing look with a list view. Hi Gerry, Assuming you mean the .NET ListView control, you can simply set the Enabled property to false. that will prevent the user from interacting with it in any way.

That's a visual cue to the user informing him that the control is disabled. Regards, Will I want the listview control to "visually look the same" as an enabled control, But yet the use can not do stuff like edtit cells or resize gridcolumns etc etc... >I want the listview control to "visually look the same" as an enabled > control, > But yet the use can not do stuff like edtit cells or resize > gridcolumns etc etc... I understand. As I said, using the native API, you'd accomplish that by subclassing the control. Sorry, but I don't know what your .Net options are. Regards, Will > I want the listview control to "visually look the same" as an enabled > control, > But yet the use can not do stuff like edtit cells or resize > gridcolumns etc etc... In .NET, set LabelEdit = false to prevent editing of item captions. I don't think you can disable header column resizing, but you can disable header click, and hide the header columns altogether, with the HeaderStyle property. You can try to handle the MouseDown event, and if the mouse is on top of a column, just discard the window message. Actually I don't believe it's a good idea to disable header resizing -- your customers will hate you for that. It's like disabling the scrolling of items. What if a caption is too long and the user has a wide screen monitor, or they use a larger than normal font? You gotta allow such basic operations. Ultimately you can do anything by painting to the screen directly. Start with a Panel control and paint whatever you wish on top of it. Tom
