Tshelllistview and renaming items onclick

Hi I am using tshelllistview in an open dialog.
I have discovered that sometimes when I click once on an item in the listview and wait for a while then it will give me the opportunity to rename the item.

Does anyone know how to dissable this feature?

THanks Katka,
I tried your suggestion however it didn't work.

To be more clear about the problem.
I click once on the item in the shelllistview, wait for a second or so then click again on the same item. This will then enable the rename feature for the shelllistview and I am able to rename the item that I have clicked on.

do you have any other suggestions?

Hi Katka,
Thanks for that I checked to see if it was set to true at run time and it changed somewhere however on doing a search I couldn't find anything that changed it! nevermind.

I set the listview to true at run time and it works now

thanks heaps the points are yours :)
