assigning a listview control to a listview object

[Welie]

Hi all-

I am using a listview (MSComctlLib.ListViewCtrl.2)on an Access form.
Actually there are six listviews on the form. I need to do the same
thing to all six forms so I have the loop below. I would like to assign
each control to a listview object, however I get a type mismatch.
Further investigation reveals that the type of the control is "Custom
Control" and not a listview. I would like to be able to work with real
control object's intellisense for one thing. Why isn't the object
recognized for what it is?

Further, where can I get good documentation on what the listview is
good for and its API. I looked on the MS site and found what i think is
old documentation. For instance, it talks about a DragMode property,
but I can only find an OLEDragMode.

dim lsv as object
'dim lsv as MSComctlLib.ListView 'doesn't work

For x = 1 To 6
Set lsv = Me.Controls("lst" & x)

'Turns out this is a custom form
MsgBox TypeName(Me.Controls("lst" & x))

lsv.LabelEdit = 1
lsv.View = 3 ' Set View property to 'Report'.
lsv.HoverSelection = False
' lsv.DragMode = 0
lsv.OLEDragMode = ccOLEDragManual
lsv.ListItems.Clear
next x

Thanks,
Elie

Try this. Open the form in design mode. On the menu bar select
Insert/ActiveX Control. Scroll to the ListView Control and double-click it.
While the new control still has the focus, delete it. See if it now works.
If it does not, wait for someone else to respond who has actually used a
Listview Control.
