hiya its BOLOX again for another quickie?

hmmm, that sounded rude, oh well here is the question:

I usually use a listbox to fill data in and use a click() option to get the reults back....

eg,

While Not myado.EOF
List1.AddItem myado!a
List1.ItemData(List1.NewIndex) = myado!id
myado.MoveNext
Wend
End If

but now i have about 10 columns of text to go in.

i have tried using the listview............

ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Airline"
ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Class"
ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "From"
ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Via"
ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "To"
ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Fare Type"
ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Valid From"
ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Valid To"
ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Validity"
ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Net Adult"
ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Gross Adult"
ListView1.View = lvwReport

Set results = ListView1.ListItems.Add(, , "one")
results.SubItems(1) = "one"
results.SubItems(2) = "three"
results.SubItems(3) = "three"
results.SubItems(4) = "three"
Set results = ListView1.ListItems.Add(, , "one")
results.SubItems(1) = "one"
results.SubItems(2) = "three"
results.SubItems(3) = "three"
results.SubItems(4) = "three"
Set results = ListView1.ListItems.Add(, , "one")
results.SubItems(1) = "one"
results.SubItems(2) = "three"
results.SubItems(3) = "three"
results.SubItems(4) = "three"

this looks good, but, what i want is that when i click on one of the lines for it to goto a new page with the index (pri key) for thsat data entry and to then show all data relating to that.

HOW!!???????

i know that the listview does not use data at the moent, but it will if it is the correct way forward

something with grid lines like an excel type thing would be better, or at least with columns that would adjust and not have a huge amount of white space

When you add an item to the listitems collection the second parameter is a Key field, this can be used to refer to the listitem in future. Whilst it may not work with a purely numeric key, depending on the values in your primary key you can prepose a "Key" & <PrimaryKeyValue> so that it does. When you click on the item the ItemClick event is fired:

Private Sub ListView1_ItemClick(ByVal Item As ListItem)
'Call another form
Load frmSubForm
frmSubForm.Populate Item.Key
frmSubForm.Show vbModal,Me
End Sub

This pseudo-code shows how to load the form and then call a populate method with the key value of the clicked item, you then show the form with the details.

Bolox,

Why do you not use a flex grid instead.

They are really easy to use and format.

Also, when you have your data loaded into the grid, If you click on a row or cell You can see what value is in it.

This may help you in going to a new page and showing all the related information.

Hope it helps

flex grid looks much better, and there is an easier way to select a row.

Any pointers as to assign some text to each columns and ading the on_click method???

Or if you really want to use the Click event:

Private Sub MSFlexGrid1_Click()
MsgBox MSFlexGrid1.TextMatrix(MSFlexGrid1.MouseRow, MSFlexGrid1.MouseCol)
End Sub

on entering ..

MSFlexGrid1.TextMatrix(3, 7) = "Hello Bolox"

it says it is out of range?
