Re: EDITLABELS issue with list control

Here is my solution, there might be a better way but I don't know

What I am doing is catching the WM_SETFOCUS and WM_KILLFOCUS of the list
control. When I get a KillFocus I remove the Editlable flag and then add it
back in after it gets the focus. I am setting the key is setting the
LVS_EDITLABLE flag using a timer so that it is not processed by the first
WM_LBUTTON down.

void CMyListCtrl::OnSetFocus(CWnd* pOldWnd)
{
   CListCtrl::OnSetFocus(pOldWnd);

   if (GetEditControl() == NULL)
   {
      SetTimer(IDT_ADDEDITLABLE,100,NULL);
   }
}

void CMyListCtrl::OnKillFocus(CWnd* pNewWnd)
{
   CListCtrl::OnKillFocus(pNewWnd);

   if (GetEditControl() == NULL)
   {
      ModifyStyle(LVS_EDITLABELS,0);
   }
}

void CMyListCtrl::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent)
{
   if (nIDEvent == IDT_ADDEDITLABLE)
   {
      KillTimer(nIDEvent);
      ModifyStyle(0,LVS_EDITLABELS);
      TRACE("Added\n");
   }

   CListCtrl::OnTimer(nIDEvent);
}

Hope this helps
