You'd probably be better off posting again in the user interface group:
microsoft.publi c.win32.program mer.ui
That said, there usually are at least two ways to do something like this.
One is to disable the control - check the docs for EnableWindow().
The other is to subclass the control - possibly subverting the handling of
keyboard and mouse input.

Hi Gerry,
Assuming you mean the .NET ListView control, you can simply set the Enabled
property to false.
that will prevent the user from interacting with it in any way.

Hi Bruno,
I have tried the enabled property ... how ever the items in the grid
change colour to a different colour.

That's a visual cue to the user informing him that the control is disabled.

I want the listview control to "visually look the same" as an enabled
control,
But yet the use can not do stuff like edtit cells or resize
gridcolumns etc etc...

I understand. As I said, using the native API, you'd accomplish that by
subclassing the control.
Sorry, but I don't know what your .Net options are.

In .NET, set LabelEdit = false to prevent editing of item captions. I
don't think you can disable header column resizing, but you can disable
header click, and hide the header columns altogether, with the
HeaderStyle property. You can try to handle the MouseDown event, and if
the mouse is on top of a column, just discard the window message.
Actually I don't believe it's a good idea to disable header resizing --
your customers will hate you for that. It's like disabling the scrolling
of items. What if a caption is too long and the user has a wide screen
monitor, or they use a larger than normal font? You gotta allow such
basic operations.
Ultimately you can do anything by painting to the screen directly. Start
with a Panel control and paint whatever you wish on top of it.

Using VB6 (for two weeks!)
I could get a ListBox search working perfectly but with a ListView it has
completely stumped me. I've not found any previous posts that have helped :(
The user enters a string into a text box (txtStreet) and as they type any
matching entry in the listview (lsvStreets) is highlighted and made visible.
The search highlights the first item starting with the text in txtStreet.
The listview contains 6,000 rows...

Hi All,
I'm trying to tie two ListViews together so that when the user scrolls
one, the other stays 'in sync'. Since there are no OnScroll events,
and the scroll bar position is unavailable, I've been forced to create
my own ListView class and override WndProc. In this I've caught all
instances of WH_VScroll and WH_HScroll, and then I can pass this info
onto the second ListView by using the User32.dll method SendMessage.
This all works...

Hi,
How do you programmatically scroll a ListView control horizontally?
(The same effect as if the user used the horizontal scroll bar,)
I've done it in C++/MFC, but can't find the means in C#. Autoscroll
is enabled.
Also, I need to know if the user scrolls the ListView horizontally.
Thanks,

I've got a listview on a form in report style. It's populated with 40
item. I want to prevent the used clicking on some items, and if the
user clicks on one of these items I want the selection to revert back
to the old selection, hideselection property if false, listview is
single select.
In the OnSelectedChange() handler I test to see if the newly selected
item is a selectable one, if it's not, I try to change the selection
like so.

Hi,
I've got a list view that displays a series of images. I'd like to be
able to draw a divider across the list view to divide the images into
groups. Ideally, I'd have a group name, with a line underneath it that
spans the ListView. How could this be done? I tried using an image as
the divider, but it forced the divider image to be the same size as
the image size used for the ImageList that stores the images for the
ListView.

Hi,
I would like to display all listview items in one row with scroll bar below it – instead of multiple rows and scroll bar on the right. Someone told me that I can achieve it using LVM_SETITEMPOSITION message.
According to my knowledge code below should set position for each item added to listView control. There are two ways of doing it - we can use MessageWindow.SendMessage from Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms or use DllImport and SendMessage....
