Hi Andrew,
It seems that there are no event for you to handle the subitem click.
As a workaround, you can do the hit-test yourself.(In the ListView's
MouseDown event)
Sample code like this:
//first add org_i and org_j to the private member of the Form class with
initial value -1.
private int org_i=-1;
private int org_j=-1;
//the code below is in the ListView_MouseDown event.
//col_height is the height of the listview column header
int col_height=listView1.Items[0].Bounds.Height;
//org_i and org_j are the original clicked subitem.
if(org_i!=-1||org_j!=-1)
{
listView1.Items[org_j].UseItemStyleForSubItems =false;
listView1.Items[org_j].SubItems[org_i].BackColor=Color.White ;
}
//items_height and items_width are use for checking if the mouse click out
of all the items.
int items_height=0;
for(int item_count=0;item_count<listView1.Items.Count;item_count++)
{
items_height+=listView1.Items[item_count].Bounds.Height;
}
items_height+=col_height;
int items_width=0;
for(int col_count=0;col_count<listView1.Columns .Count ;col_count++)
{
items_width+=listView1.Columns [col_count].Width ;
}
//if the mouse clicks out of all the items or columns, just return.
if(e.X>=items_width||e.Y>=items_height)
{
return;
}
//i and j are the index of the subitem.
int i=0,j=0;
int width_len=listView1.Columns[0].Width;
int height_len=col_height+listView1.Items[0].Bounds.Height;
while(e.X >width_len)
{
i++;
width_len+=listView1.Columns
.Width;
}
while(e.Y>height_len)
{
j++;
height_len+=listView1.Items[j].Bounds.Height ;
}
//change the clicked subitem's backcolor
listView1.Items[j].UseItemStyleForSubItems =false;
listView1.Items[j].SubItems.BackColor=Color.Blue ;
org_i=i;
org_j=j;
<Code End>
In the code, I just use the item[0]'s height as the column header's height
(int col_height=listView1.Items[0].Bounds.Height; ).
This is because I did not find a good way of retrieving the height of the
column header, I think this substitute way does make much difference.
But I think you can use LVM_GETCOLUMN to get the handle of the column, then
you can use Win32 function GetClientRect() to get its height.
It works well on my machine, if you have any questions please feel free to
let me know.

| The clcik event on the ListView control seems to trigger
| off the item level ( the first column ). I would like to
| be able to trap the click event on a particular subitem (
| a specific column's row ). If possible, what do I do to
| activate that 'cell' - thanks.
|
| I thought that listView.LabelEdit = true; would enable me
| to navigate into the cells or something like listView.items
| [index].subitems[index].LabelEdit - but I did not see such
| a property. Thanks for any hints and a good discussion on
| this controls features
