listbox focus

sf
Hi,
searching this group and othher sources didn't found a match.
My problem:
Working with VS C#.Net 2003
I have a ListBox and like to retrieve the item which has the focus -
not the selected one.
In singleselection ListBox its mostly the same, thus the selection
follows the focus.
But in multiselection focus can be moved without changing any
selection.
Is there any easy way to be informed abaout the focus change?
(I think the hard way would be to add a focus event handler to each
item added in the ListBox)
TIA

Hi,
1. Tried to implement the 'hard way'. But how can I access the control
of the ListBox item to add an event handler?
2. Found another way:
because I use owner drawing for other purposes, I check the focus state
of DrawItemEventAr gs and if it's set, take the additional information
for that item.
But still I'm interested in my original question.
Cheers

I'm having a major problem with a databound listbox in C#. In the constructor for the form I am trying to pre-select some of the items based in information in the database. When I step through the debugger it all seems to be working properly until the Load function is called, and then all my selections but 1 are unselected. Anybody had any experience with this and know of a fix? Listbox is databound Listbox appears on a tabpage inside...

I would like to be able to use an autocompleting listbox - that is, one where you can select an item in the list by typing the first few characters; the standard IE listbox only responds to the first character. I'm happy to pay a few quid for a 3rd-party component/activex control if necessary but I imagine something equally good could be done with client-side code... Any suggestions?

Hello, I have a Form with a ListBox in it. I'd like to be able to scroll the ListBox even when it's not in focus. ie. when i scroll the mousewheel when my focus is on the form, I'd like the ListBox to scroll. Now, there are two ways I would think would work. The first is if I can resend the MouseEventArgs to the ListBox but there does not seen to be a way to pass that event along. The second is if I could manually scroll the ListBox...

I need some control that basically acts as a listbox, but allows each item to take up more then one line. I've tried adding a new item and putting in a vbCrLf in there, but that just comes out as a box on the same line. Is there some way of making the listbox show multiple lines for each item, or is there another control (3rd party maybe) that will let me do this?

I am owner-drawing a listbox, in an attempt to create a nice list with some custom "fields" and text layout. Essentially it works, but I must be missing something big, conceptually, because I get all kinds of screen artifacts and weirdness. My general goal is: list item with a few areas for text, every other item shaded a light color for readability, font color changes with selection. The listbox is populated with custom structurs...

Hi, I have a form with a databound listbox and combobox. The listbox items are filtered based on the selection for the combobox. If I click on the listbox to select an item, I can no longer select the combobox or even exit the form. It's as if something won't let me take focus away from the listbox -- all I'm able to do is navigate within the listbox.. There is no error or exception thrown -- I just can't access anything outside of...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
