Work around ListView.Cursor bug - SetCursor fixes content but not header

[Samuel R. Neff]

I'm using this class to work around the ListView.Cursor bug in .NET
1.0/1.1. It fixes the bug as long as the user mouses around the
client area of the listview but if the listview is in detail view and
the user mouses over the header, the default cursor is displayed
regardless of the Cursor property setting.

Public Class MyListView
Inherits ListView
Const WM_SETCURSOR = &H20
Public Declare Function SetCursor Lib "user32" Alias "SetCursor"
(ByVal
hCursor As IntPtr) As IntPtr
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As
System.Windows.Forms.Message)
if m.Msg = WM_SETCURSOR
SetCursor(Me.Cursor.Handle)
Return
End If
MyBase.WndProc(m)
End Sub
End Class

Is there a better work-around that also handles the header?

Thanks,

Sam

Hi Samuel,

So far we have no better workaround for the problem.
Also we are planning to fix the issue in the next vs.net release(Whidbey),
you may try to monitor our website for the release.
Thanks for your understanding!

I read that, but the next major release is still a long ways off..

This requires a fix in the run-time though, right? Not vs.net...

Thanks,

Sam

Hi

I am sorry if I did not make this more clear.
Because this is a problem in the current winform control in .net FW
1.1(vs.net 2003), while in the next release Whidbey(.net FW 2.0), the
winform control will also be updated. So the problem is not the VS.NET IDE
but the underlying Framework which provides the listview
control.(system.windows.forms.dll)

If you do have more concern on the workaround, I think you may try to
contact MSPSS for a hotfix.
