List View Question

[Jeff Williams]

With a list view is it possible and if so how to turn off the search
function.

What I mean is if you are in a list view and start typing it will search
the first column to match or close match a value in the first column
like auto complete. I dont need this to happen.

if
column 1 contains a series of numbers from 1 to 500. If you enter 234
while in the list view it scrolls to the row which has 234 in the first
column. The only control the user needs to have in my app is the use of
the vertical scroll bar.

You can always use the KeyDown event to just swallow it.
