3rd party list box?
-
Hey guys i need my listBox items to be editable in the listBox itself. For example, the user clicks a button "add roster", then a blank item appears in the list box where the user can type its name directly inside the item... and then when focus is lost adds that item to the list. It seems the normal
System.Windows.Forms.ListBoxcant do it like that... unless im missing something? are there any good 3rd party ListBoxes that can help me with this? any other suggestions are welcome ThanksHarvey Saayman - South Africa Junior Developer .Net, C#, SQL

I think the standard way of doing this it to get overlay a textbox on the field that needs editing and remove it on enter or lost focus (obviously saving the data first). It is possible to embed controls in the list view (again a few articles) but that can be pretty memory intensive in a large list.

BTW, in software, hope and pray is not a viable strategy. (Luc Pattyn)
Expect everything to be hard and then enjoy the things that come easy. (code-frog) -

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var item = listView1.Items.Add("");
listView1.LabelEdit = true;
item.BeginEdit();
}
private void listView1_AfterLabelEdit(object sender, LabelEditEventArgs e)
{
listView1.LabelEdit = false;
