ListView HotTracking problem

[David Schwartz]

I am using a few ActiveX ListViews in my VB.NET Windows Forms application.
I have the ListView's HotTracking property set to False, yet when I move the
mouse over an item in the ListView (without clicking), the item gets
selected. Is there a way can work around this problem besides changing all
of my ActiveX ListViews to .NET ListViews?

Thanks!

Hi David,

A standard answer in this newsgroup, "you could ask it to the supplier of
your not .Net listview"

I know it helps not much, but we know nothing about your listview.

The supplier would be Microsoft. The control is the VB6 ListView
(AxMSComctlLib.AxListView in VB.NET).

Hi,

Why did you than said a Active X listview control while you knew exactly
what it was.

Gives me no good feeling, but I hope for you that someone will help you.

Sorry if I'm not getting the terminology quite right, but I thought the term
"ActiveX control " when used in the context of VB.NET referred to the old
VB6 controls as opposed to the .NET controls. Guess I was wrong...

Hi David,

Ok but for that I know only one answer, try the new ones..

Or ask your question in the the newsgroup

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.update

It is a newsgroup with only 2 messages a day but Herfried is also there
active and because that is a properiate newsgroup for that you probably get
a better answer in that newsgroup for this.

But I would not do that, I would use the new one, than I learn also direct
what they can do for me.

I guess the question that needs to be ask is why in the world is he using an
active control
when there is a free replacement available in .NET.

The app was upgraded from VB6 to .NET using the upgrade wizard. Since it's
a huge app with many listviews, switching the listviews to the .NET version
was not a priority.
