Listview & TextBox, using Up/Down arrow keys

Zones: Access Forms, Access Coding/Macros

Tags: Access 2003 vba

I am using a text box and a listview control on a form. The user selects an item from the listview to edit, this populates the text box with the text that can be edited. As soon as the user selects an item, the focus shifts to the text box so that the user can easily edit the text. I can get the up/down arrow keys in the listview to work but only after the user edits the text in the textbox and then hits Enter. The down arrow key also works if you just hold it down, but the up arrow key doesn't work unless you hit enter from the text box. Can I make the up/down arrow keys functional from the text box? For example, I select an item in the listview, the focus shifts to the textbox, I make the text change and then, instead of pressing Enter, I press the down arrow key to move to the next item.

I don't really see the purpose (don't you edit directly within the list view?) but you can automate such a control from the outside. The following assumes you have a ListView variable lv pointing to your control.

Hope this helps!

                                Private Sub Text1_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
    If KeyCode = vbKeyDown And Shift = 0 Then
        If lv.SelectedItem.Index < lv.ListItems.Count Then
            lv.ListItems(lv.SelectedItem.Index + 1).Selected = True
            Text1 = lv.SelectedItem.Text
        End If
        KeyCode = 0
    ElseIf KeyCode = vbKeyUp And Shift = 0 Then
        If lv.SelectedItem.Index > 1 Then
            lv.ListItems(lv.SelectedItem.Index - 1).Selected = True
            Text1 = lv.SelectedItem.Text
        End If
        KeyCode = 0
    End If
End Sub

I'm new at this and would rather edit directly from the listview but wasn't sure how to do it. Some of the columns in the listview should not be editable and some should depending on what options are selected beforehand. I'll try your code and let you know how it goes. I do have one other question however, in my listview I can scroll down through the listview by holding down the down arrow key just fine, but the up arrow key just sits there. This functionality is done without any special code. Is this something that's built into the listview control?

Given this "feature", none of the arrows should work more than once, and I thought this was the exact problem you were facing. I'm afraid I don't understand.

I probably wasn't realy clear. The listview works in the following way right now with no special code. The user selects an item from the listview, the focus shifts to the textbox, the user types and hits Enter, the AfterUpdate event is called, some stuff is done & the focus goes back to the listview. The user can then use the down arrow to select the next item and do the same thing. He can use the up arrow also -- the same the down arrow was used previously. In addition, with no special code, the user can use the down arrow and continuously scroll through the listview, so he can just hold the down arrow down and it keeps scrolling, but the up arrow doesn't work that way. I was wondering if this is the way the listview is designed.

It's not designed that way; the user can freely scroll down and up using the arrow keys. However, your design is that the focus keeps switching over to your text box, so any navigation should immediately stop...

You say say that without any coding, when the user selects an item (how btw? double-click or something similar?), the text box receives the focus. There must be some code doing that, or am I missing an integrated feature here?
