The list view control must have the focus before you send ListView_EditLabel to the control. Focus can be set using the SetFocus function.

I forgot to mention that I have already called SetFocus and ListView_EditLabel fails despite this.

I added LVS_EDITLABELS and now I get a handle to the edit control. However, when I run the appication still the in place editing of the item doesn't get initiated. Do I have to to something with the edit control handle?

I want to rename a list view item in a manner similar to windows explorer that allows in place editing when rename is invoked from the drop-down/context menu. For this I used ListView_EditLabel in my application and passed it the handle to my list view control and the index of the selected item but its not working. Instead of returning me the handle to the edit control, ListView_EditLabel returns a NULL. What am I doing wrong?

Question on ListView_EditLabel

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
