<p>Label editing allows user to edit items and sub-items on the fly. Just
set the <span class="code">LabelEdit</span> property to <span class="code">true</span> (or
<span class="code">LabelEditModeItems</span> to
<span class="code">BetterListViewLabelEditMode.Text</span>) and the user is allowed to
edit items using text box:</p>
<p class="images"><img src="label-editing-control1.png"></p>
<p>To enable label editing for sub-items, set the
<span class="code">LabelEditModeSubItems</span> property to value other than
<span class="code">LabelEditModeSubItems.None</span>. For example, you can use different
editing controls, like a combo box by setting
<span class="code">LabelEditModeSubItems</span> to
<span class="code">LabelEditModeSubItems.CustomControl</span>. Then handler
<span class="code">RequestEmbeddedControl</span> event and return the editing control in
the event handler.</p>
<p>You can also specify position of the editing control by setting
<span class="code">BetterListViewRequestEmbeddedControlEventArgs.ControlPlacement</span>.
The position is determined from sub-item text position by default.</p>
<p class="images"><img src="label-editing-control2.png"></p>
<p>There are three basic editing controls pre-packed in Better
ListView:</p>
<ul style="list-style:none">
<li>
<span class="code">BetterListViewTextBoxEmbeddedControl</span><ul style="list-style:none"><li>
<p><span class="code">TextBox</span>-based control used for basic label
editing.</p>
</li></ul>
</li>
<li>
<span class="code">BetterListViewComboBoxEmbeddedControl</span><ul style="list-style:none"><li>
<p>ComboBox-based control used for editing enumerations.</p>
</li></ul>
</li>
<li>
<span class="code">BetterListViewDateTimePickerEmbeddedControl</span><ul style="list-style:none"><li>
<p>DateTimePicker-based control used for editing date and time
values.</p>
</li></ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>If you want to create your own editing controls, see <strong><em><a href="chapter-embedded-controls.html">Embedded Controls</a></em></strong>, for
more information.</p>
<h2>Default Action</h2>
<p>When label edit is terminated by the control (e.g. when user clicks
outside the editing control or Better ListView loses focus), the edited
data can be either accepted or cancelled.</p>
<p>By default, the data is accepted, but this can be changed by setting
<span class="code">LabelEditDefaultAccept</span> to <span class="code">false</span>.</p>
<h2>Label Editing from User Code</h2>
<p>Label editing can be initiated and terminated from user code using
<span class="code">BeginEdit</span> and <span class="code">EndEdit</span> methods.</p>
<p><span class="code">BeginEdit</span> is adopted from .NET ListView and allows you
to start label editing of a specific sub-item (e.g. when some keyboard
shortcut is pressed).</p>
<p><span class="code">EndEdit</span> can be used to terminate label editing at any
time. This method can be called even when label editing is not currently
in progress.</p>
<h2>Sample Source Code</h2>
<p>The following sample shows initialization of a Better ListView with
custom label editing for sub-items:</p>
<p><strong>C#</strong></p>
<pre class="prettyprint"><code class="lang-cs">this.listView.BeginUpdate();
this.listView.Columns.AddRange(new[] { "Property", "Visiblity" });
this.listView.Items.Add(new[] { "AlphaProperty", "public" });
this.listView.Items.Add(new[] { "BetaProperty", "internal" });
this.listView.Items.Add(new[] { "GammaProperty", "private" });
// start editing items with just single click (optional)
this.listView.LabelEditActivation = BetterListViewLabelEditActivation.SingleClick;
// we would like to edit sub-items, so set editing mode of sub-items
this.listView.LabelEditModeSubItems = BetterListViewLabelEditMode.CustomControl;
this.listView.EndUpdate();
// custom label editing needs to handle this event to obtain actual editing control
this.listView.RequestEmbeddedControl += ListViewRequestEmbeddedControl;</code></pre>
<p><strong>Visual Basic</strong></p>
<pre class="prettyprint"><code class="lang-vb">ListView.BeginUpdate()
ListView.Columns.AddRange (New String() {"Property", "Visiblity"})
ListView.Items.Add (New String() {"AlphaProperty", "public"})
ListView.Items.Add (New String() {"BetaProperty", "internal"})
ListView.Items.Add (New String() {"GammaProperty", "private"})
' start editing items with just single click (optional)
ListView.LabelEditActivation = BetterListViewLabelEditActivation.SingleClick
' we would like to edit sub-items, so set editing mode of sub-items
ListView.LabelEditModeSubItems = BetterListViewLabelEditMode.CustomControl
ListView.EndUpdate()
' custom label editing needs to handle this event to obtain actual editing control
AddHandler ListView.RequestEmbeddedControl, AddressOf ListViewRequestEmbeddedControl</code></pre>
<p>The <span class="code">RequestEmbeddedControl</span> event handler provides the
actual label editing control:</p>
<p><strong>C#</strong></p>
<pre class="prettyprint"><code class="lang-cs">IBetterListViewEmbeddedControl ListViewRequestEmbeddedControl(object sender, BetterListViewRequestEmbeddedControlEventArgs eventArgs)
{
if (eventArgs.SubItem.Index == 1) // user edits the first sub-item
{
// create ComboBox editing control from BetterListView
BetterListViewComboBoxEmbeddedControl comboBoxEmbeddedControl = new BetterListViewComboBoxEmbeddedControl();
comboBoxEmbeddedControl.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList;
// add items into the editing control
comboBoxEmbeddedControl.Items.AddRange(
new[]
{
"public",
"internal",
"private"
});
return comboBoxEmbeddedControl;
}
return null;
}</code></pre>
<p><strong>Visual Basic</strong></p>
<pre class="prettyprint"><code class="lang-vb">Function ListViewRequestEmbeddedControl (ByVal sender As Object,
ByVal eventArgs As BetterListViewRequestEmbeddedControlEventArgs) _
As IBetterListViewEmbeddedControl
If eventArgs.SubItem.Index = 1 Then
' user edits the first sub-item
' create ComboBox editing control from BetterListView
Dim comboBoxEmbeddedControl As New BetterListViewComboBoxEmbeddedControl()
comboBoxEmbeddedControl.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList
' add items into the editing control
comboBoxEmbeddedControl.Items.AddRange (New String() {"public", "internal", "private"})
Return comboBoxEmbeddedControl
End If
Return Nothing
End Function</code></pre>
