Retrieve the value 'edited' in a ListView

Code Project to my rescue - again! Greetings everyone.

I have a ListView on my form which has the following columns :
Qty to Receive
Qty Ordered
Qty Received
Qty Outstanding

and others which are not applicable here.

I have set the LabelEdit property to True and have the following event :

VB

Private Sub lsv_GRV_DoubleClick(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles lsv_GRV.DoubleClick
    lsv_GRV.SelectedItems(0).BeginEdit()
End Sub

This allows the user to doubleclick on the first column (Qty to Receive) of any number of rows, and enter a value.

What I am really battling with is retrieving that value so that I can adjust the 'Qty Received' value and the 'Qty Outstanding' value with simple arithmetic.

All the events that I have tried (and that's just about all of them) only return the value that was in the selected item before the double click (which is always null).

Therefore, in a nutshell, how can I immediately retrieve the value that a user has entered after double clicking on an item.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Solution 1

Use the AfterLabelEdit event and the "Label" property of the event argument "e".

VB

Private Sub ListView1_AfterLabelEdit(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.LabelEditEventArgs) Handles ListView1.AfterLabelEdit
   MsgBox(e.Label)

End Sub
